4♣ was a splinter with 3+ ♥s, 5♣ showed 0 or 3 key cards and 6♦ apparently showed "KQ", I assume the KQ of ♥s, I don't remember; besides GIB should infer it. These were auto-alerts by GIB.

So after 6♦ GIB knows I have 3 key cards and has all the information to safely bid the grand but it didn't.

6♦ shows ♥Q and ♦K (♥K was included in 5♣), so West knows you're lying to him, but he should still be able to count all the tricks.

This hand also allows us to revisit a previously-discussed point about GIB's description and use of Jacoby 2N. At other tables in this tournament, when GIB sat East, he bid J2N over 1♥. Although this does show the fourth heart, it both contradicts GIB's description of the bid (which specifies that it shows a "balanced" hand), and fails to provide the useful information that OP's 2♦ bid showed. But, with the J2N, two GIBs also didn't get to 7:

I don't think this is a Gib problem.
For me,after 5♦,I am willing to bid 5nt to show ♥Q,and then I guess that Gib W will bid 6♦ to show ♦K so as to let you pick up a final contract - 6♥ or 7♥.

But, two GIBs, sitting East and West and both knowing their system, should be able to get to 7♥.
