That portion of the Chile/Argentina border hasn't been defined. Haven't found an official reason but someone on Reddit said this: If I recall correctly the treaty defined the border as the peak of the mountains, where the water flows in a specific direction. They hadn’t actually been to the peak yet at that point in history, though, and didn’t realize that the point that directs the water flow is not the peak, making the original definition contradictory. The countries maintain good relations so it hasn’t been a contentious issue.
