Maybe I missed this. But does anyone else have the ball get stuck behind the phone. Mostly during multi ball. At least 8 Times now Plastic protester seems flimsy in that area. I put scotch tape there but somehow still getting in occasionally. does this happen to anyone else? I’m thinking it’s not setup right

I took the phone apart (PITA, but do-able) and replaced the lower nut on the right side with a threaded post I had laying around from something else:

The post holds the right side of the plastic protector back far enough to eliminate the ball trap against the side of the wireform. Having done that, you can wedge the left side of the protector behind the nuts on the other side of the phone...

I'd have used a shorter threaded post if I had one, but this works.
