The garage door has a 3-5" gap from the floor when closing, the force
adjustment has been max to up arrow.
Also noticed that placing the arrow in the middle of the adjustment gets the
same result of 3-5" gap from the floor.
Is there another way to close the garage door to the floor? any help will be a
great help.

If you disconnect the door from the opener arm, does the door manually close all the way?

Or is there some binding during the last 3-5 inches of stroke?

Good test. Another is to try moving the door by hand. It should move
freely, balanced, with not a lot of weight. If it's not, the springs
need adjusting, but I don't see that as the problem.
Also some have a travel adjustment that is independent of the closing
force adjustment.

Actually, the Force adjustment is just for closing pressure once it hits the
floor. What you want to adjust is the other set of knobs for Travel or Limit.
This or these will adjust how far from or close to the floor the door stops.
Some openers are thumbscrew(s) and others require a screwdriver.
