Ours in leagues does this and I've never been able to get it 100%. If you bend the switch arm up a little it appears to help. There isn't an adjustment to the switch other than bending it.
If you go into switch test and throw the ball in the scoop, you'll see the switch register for a split second and then fire the ball out. Those are the times where it won't register the mode, but will kick it out.
When you see it activate the switch and keep it activated for about a second, then kick the ball out, you know you have it bent correctly.
