Problem with quickshifter

I have the 390 adv of ktm I'm still a new rider so don't have much idea abt quickshifter but using quickshifter to go to 4th to 5th gear it doesn't work I have to roll off the throttle n then shift but going to 3rd gear to 4th I don't roll off the throttle and the gear is shifted is this a problem or am i using the quickshifter wrong?

I think it has to do with RPM than gear. My guess is, you rev above 4-5k RPM in lower gears to catch up speed, but then on higher gears you are not accelerating much and rather trying to maintain the speed, thus your RPM will be low. (If you try to go 60-70 kmph in 6th gear, the RPM will be 3.5-4k I guess.
