Shell-to-Solid Coupling - no coupling nodes found

Hello All, 

In my shell-to-solid coupling definition, I receive several warnings as below. These warnings do not go off even if large values of position tolerance and/or influence region are manually defined. In my case, the Shell that couples with solid is not perfectly cylindrical. It is a damaged cylinder which is slightly oval at some places (meaning the ID of the shell is either less or more than actual ID by 0.2 to 0.3mm at some locations). My solid part is perfectly cylinder and the Shell is modeled as ID with thickness offset defined as "bottom" surface. Any suggestions to resolve these warnings ? 

"...SHELL NODE (XX) INSTANCE (YY) MET THE POSITION TOLERANCE FOR *SHELL TO SOLID COUPLING BUT NO COUPLING NODES WERE FOUND. INCREASING THE VALUE OF THE INFLUENCE DISTANCE MAY BE NEEDED"
