Would someone with an Alien Poker please post an under the playfield picture of the upper right flipper mechanism?

I blew the solenoid fuse when holding up the right flipper. As it turns out, it looks like the upper right flipper EOS switch is too short, never gets opened and the coil stays in 'high' power rather than a lower 'hold' power.

This switch can't be right... but it looks old and factory (its a HUO game).

Upon closer inspection, it look like the outer what should be longer leaf switch blade may have broken off.

I think I may have solved this mystery, but posting anyways for others to reference.

You nailed it. I had just sketched a quick pic to illustrate when I saw you already found the problem. Here's what I came up with anyway. Blue arrow is pointing to the break, red line is showing where the rest of the switch leaf would normally be:
