Hi;
Are you sure about your kpath and the way you have set them up in QE? I had the same problem for another system and it was due to the wrong kpoints.
Best regards;

Subject: [QE-users] Issue with Nanoribbon Band Structure of GeI
[EXTERNAL SENDER - PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY]
Dear QE gurus,
I am new to QE and I am currently trying to replicate the band structure for a GeI nanoribbon (https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.89.115429). I passivated the Ge atoms with H atoms. When I run the band input file (below) after the SCF has been converged, the bands in the resulting band structure are all straight lines (they all have constant energy), which is absurd. I'm not sure where the issue originates.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
