I have a Star Trek Pro by Stern made in 2013. Sometimes the drop target for the Vengeance ship will fall back down when it pops up to reset. Anyone else experience the same problem? If so how did you fix it. ( stronger spring?)

I did check the little plastic ledge and it's ok.
It's not really much of a ledge to rest on, is there another adjustment somewhere?
If it's not the drop target activating the vengence ship, then what else could do this causing it to score and the ship rocking around at the beginning of a game or switching to next player and there are no balls on the playfield?
Just got off the phone with a tech. at Stern. He said the use of 2 thin washers was a good idea and then went on to suggest using a piece of paper etc. to shim the plastic ledge. Just being careful to observe the clearance so target operates and drops.
Installed the washers this morning. Seems to be working fine. Overall the repair was easy and was a learning experience with the research and physical aspects of the problem.
