LOTR has a plastic ramp at the tip of the center ramp that will bring the ball to the right whenever it does not lock in the magnets center shot. The plastic ramp is known to break and is easily available in a 2 set for 10dollars.
I surprisingly didn't notice at first until a ball actually got stuck in the middle of the rubber loop in the second week of owning it. While I can not get the red v piece for underneath the plastic ramp without buying the whole plastics set, I was able to take out the screw and rubber mod that was in place instead of the readily available ramp.
The game now plays as intended and hopefully I can replace the last plastic piece soon to cover the screw hole still remaining.
