V-Ray sun acting like a slit of light

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys can help me with something.

I'm not a 3Ds Max user but I got stuck with a project where I need to light a scene and I thought it would be ok as I don't need to navigate the software as much (I have a basic knowledge of 3Ds Max), but I've hit a barrier that I've been stuck all day without being able to figure out. I added a VRay sun and sky and no matter what I do it lights just a sliver of the scene. It's an outdoor scene and there is nothing blocking the sun, but it looks like I am shining the sun through an opening in a wall or something.

Even more weird, if I move the sun in relation to the sun's target (or the target in relation to the sun) the sliver of light moves, but if move them both then nothing happens. I can only make it shine on the subject on a side angle and that doesn't help me much... LOL

Unfortunately I can't share the image or the file for NDA reasons, but was wondering if anyone have encountered this problem before. Thanks in advance!
