The distance between the highlighted two C atoms may be too large.  According to the previous study on the divacancy of bulk graphene, two of the four C atoms next to vacancy site will be reconstructed to form a new bond, the other two atoms will also be. So you have to perform a structure optimization for your GNR structure with a divacancy.
