I replaced the rubbers yesterday and adjusted this ramp without having to bend the ramp (pushing it ~1/4" toward the player). As you found out, these ramps don't bend easily.
First photo is the old location and the second is the new/improved location. Haven't done exhaustive testing, but hasn't skipped off the ramp yet. This issue hasn't been that much of a problem for me, but still wanted to improve it.
