Reassign the offending pin(s) to the correct nets. Edit the pin(s) using the Component Pin Editor dialog - accessed from the Component Properties dialog by clicking the Edit Pins button. From the Component Pin Editor dialog, access the Logical tab of the Pin Properties dialog for the offending pin (for each sub-part in turn) and check/modify the net entry in the Connect To field.
