Is there any way to adjust this wide metal ramp besides bending it? It is tilted too low and the ball gets stuck at the bottom on the lip of the playfield if it didn't make it all the way up the ramp and needs to roll back down the ramp.

I think I've bent it with a little tiny bit of success already but want to make sure there's not a better way before I pursue that route.

Thanks! Due to how the ramp is set up it almost seems like that may be the intended way, but I'm not sure.

I belive it is intended to be that way. I would not bend that ramp, instead I would rebuild those flippers. Both (right and left) ramp shots are hard to make without strong flippers.

Sorry, you must have misunderstood, the front of the ramp is too low and the ball is getting stuck because it's catching the lip of the playfield on the way back down.

Even if the flippers were perfect (which they close to are) you wouldn't make it up the ramp 110% of the time anyways due to ball angle or whatever and that is the part that is getting the ball stuck. As much as it would be nice for the solution being making the shot every time (without fixing the problem), it seems there is a decent percentage of the time where it needs to roll back down. Thanks!
