Been having this same issue - and I also have the mod installed. I don't think the mod has anything to do with it since the ship is like stuck down when this happens. Once the vengeance goes down either by being defeated or by the test menu, it comes back up very slowly and I cant move it by hand - like every time a bumper bumps the ball, the Vengeance moves back into proper upright position by a little bit. After a while its all back to normal.

Going to check for this metal tab.

Revisiting this thread to post the solution in my case. It seems the guides that take the Vengeance down and forward have quite a bit of friction and then the springs on the sides are pretty weak so the the added weight of the saucer mod (we're talking less than 20 grams roughly) makes the vengeance stay down and slowly come back up as the game shakes with vibration, mostly from the nearby pop bumpers.

Called Stern and they had some more complicated idea involving the grooves the ship moves along. The solution in my case was to shorten the springs using pliers to cut them shorter, now it works like a charm.
