I am have a ball trappig issue with one switch on a twilight zone pinball machine. Its the switch below the flipper on middle, right of field (pics attached). The ball either gets trapped like u see in the pic or sometimes falls in BEHIND the switch arm so it wont activate the switch. I have to wait for a ball search....and when it launches it it then bends the switch arm forward. Can someone please post a pic of what angle is working for them with no issues?

Here’s a photo I grabbed off if Cliffy’s website that shows it fairly close up. If you need more, I could take some pics of mine when I get home later.

Hope helpful.
I would recommend adjusting it under the playfield keeping it straight. The one on Cliffy’s someone did above and it is ramming into the kicker.
