    Did you check the gaps on the leaf switches? Most likely, they are gapped too closely.

    Quoted from DCFAN:

    I would assume it is a double leaf switch flipper switch. Likely the one that flips the lower flipper is too sensitive and needs to be gapped a little more.
    You could stick a credit card between the contacts and see if it stops flipping.

    There are two leaf switches under the sling plastic, almost certainly one or both of them are gapped incorrectly. It could be at the flipper button too, like you said, but I’d bet it’s the sling leaf switches.

    Edit: ignore my post, it's not relevant to this issue.

    Quoted from DCFAN:

    Why would the sling switches affect the flippers? The slings don't appear to be firing.

    Yeah, you are right, I wasn't thinking clearly...it's most likely coming from leaf switch at the flipper button. Apologies, one of those days of too much going on.
