No matter what i do i cant get rid of the lines in the geometry. 

The flat planes are smoothing Groupe one.

the edges next to smoothing Groupe one is one and two the edges smooth fine but the flat plane continues to get lines in the geometry? Any idea why this is happening?

Hi,

 

What you see here is an indication that the faces(the underlying triangles) are not co-planar.

Every polygon is made of triangles. Now, if it's not possible to do something about this, what you can

Do is unify the vertices normals of each of those problematic polygons:

1- Add an Edit Normals modifier, and make sure the Normal sub-level is selected

2- In the Parameters rollout witch to Face.

3- Start with one of the areas having the issue by dragging a rectangle selection that covers both sides

Of the problematic edge that you wanna hide:

 

drag a rectangle selectiondrag a rectangle selection

 

The corresponding normals will turn red, now click the Unify button.

Do the same with the other areas.

In the end, you can collapse the stack if you like.
