Avengers Pro---ball gets stuck .......

I am looking for some advice and have not seen this specific example referenced in the other posts. So on my Avengers, I am occasionally getting a ball stuck above and just to the left of the pop bumpers, at the very tip of the Captain America lane guide and the ball diverter/flap.
Typically, it will roll there and just sit, partially resting on the flap. I have to shake the game to get the ball to roll back to the pops. I believe I have the game properly leveled side to side. The front to back is leveled as per factory specs.

Before I get all "ham fisted" and try to bend guides or something stupid, I am wondering if anyone else ran into this and what was the solution?

Thanks in advance!

I had something similar on a JM, the ball would lay against the skirt. I adjusted the contacts underneath so that the weight of the ball was enough to trigger the pop, plus I moved the skirt around 180 degrees. Unfortunately I did both at the same time, so I don't know which of the two fixed it.

Try changing the pitch and the level to see if that helps.

Mine too. I just bump it loose.

OK, thanks for the replies so far.
To clarify, it is not the pop bumper skirt that the ball rests on, but it is the metal loop guide for the Captain America passage. Just past the diverter flap. I hesitate to change the lside to side evel too much (I had considered "tilting" it towards the right to try to encourage the ball to roll out) as I am afraid it will screw up some other shots.

In which case, ignore my comment.
