Taxi center draining from kickout hole

Python...what are you doing to me? So you hit Gorbie, you grab a joy ride...immediately after the happy bell rings, the kickout hole shoots the ball straight down the center drain. Even my children are now avoiding the shot because it drains the ball immediately.

I have verified that the pinball machine is leveled properly. I have checked it three times just to make sure. If I bump the machine enough to make it not drain, I get at least a tilt warning. (I have the tilt bob set very liberally).

What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else had this issue? Is it just that I stink at pinball (which is definitely true). Is this how the machine is supposed to play? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Gently bend the upper part of the kicker arm so it kicks the ball elsewhere.

Loosen the kicker mech and turn it and tighten it back in so it's kicking more towards the pop bumpers. There is room when you loosen the screws to move it slightly, that is all you need.
