You need to investigate the relationships between the fixed effects, your
extra fixed effects, and the cluster variable. For example, you have to
have more clusters than instruments for the cluster-robust vcv to be full
rank. This could be the problem if the number of groupyr fixed effects is
big.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mark
