No it's not about the footer tags here, footer is okay.

Add a header element, section element, and footer element.

Problem here is that you are missing the section tag the challenge is looking for.

  <body>
    <header>
    </header>

    <section></section>
    <footer>

    </footer>
  </body>

adding a section element between header and footer tag should fix the problem.
