I frequently have a pinball get stuck at the bottom of this playfield where I have to shake the machine to free it up and it'll drop down by the spinner tunnel. I looked at the cause and I'm missing a post at the bottom. After looking for photos the upper playfield, I can't seem to find one consensus on the proper layout of the rubber rings. The top right corner of mine looks as if it's missing a post there too, it's under a triangle configured rubber. I'd like to make this as intended and I don't have the manual.

Can anyone show me how this should be? Thanks.

You can get the manual at ipdb.org.

Looks like your missing mini posts on both sides of the bottom. My rh top is different too but I'm not sure that would be a big difference.

Thanks for the photo. I have posts I found in the bottom the machine I can install in a little bag. I'll put them in tonight.

Funny. I have wondered about this myself for some time. I re-rubbered my game a few years ago when I picked it up. I always thought it was weird to have the spot on the upper right open to the cabinet, but maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Anyway -- here is what I ended up with:

Mine is almost the same as yours but mine has 3 posts for the rubber in the top right corner.

I have the bottom two posts installed now and changed the upper right corner to look more like the photos above. Very nice not having to worry about the ball getting stuck anymore. Also, maybe it's coincidence, but the ball has gone back to the plunging lane more often now. Before it hardly ever went there, mostly pops and left side.

If you look at page 2-36 in the manual it should not be open on the right side by the cabinet. I have no clue if the holes in the playfield match the diagram in the manual.

Has there been a manual the was 100% accurate with rubber rings?

2-36 and 2-37 show different layouts for the upper right corner. The diagram on 2-36 isn't even possible since they don't have a lower hole in the mini PF to put a post there to make a triangle ring.
