Touchpad with Numberpad setup doesn't work when centered

Framework Laptop 16

I have 2 of the same device so it lets me swap hardware between them to verify configurations.

Windows 11 Pro - Nothing else custom

I have the keyboard and number setup and they are both working. The touchpad however ONLY works if I move it to far left. It doesn’t work if I center and keep 1 spacer on each side. The device is “supposed” to support the keyboard/numpad with the touchpad centered but I’m not seeing this working. I’ve tried both touchpads I have. If I move it to the center it doesn’t work…if I move it back to the far left it does.

Anyone else seeing this issue?
(The second unit actually isn’t booting at the moment so I can’t test it on that unit)*

I’ve got that exact configuration and it works as intended. If you look at the contacts on the middle plate, are there any damages?

Thanks! Good call. No “visible” damage from what I could see ( a tiny minor scuff on the center contact)…BUT…not all of the pins would go down. The contact has 8 pins on it and only 7 would depress. One of them was stuck. I was able to press pretty hard to free it up and it started moving again. The keyboard then worked.

If you have issues with these verify all 8 pins move freely on that contact.
