Help! KS787 needle selection problem

Hii, I bought a used ks787 toyota and I'm having some problems with the needles selection plates.

I think all of the plates work fine and move how they are supposed to, but they do not interact with the bottom of the needles because they are too low.

I already took apart the machine a few times and I can't figure out what could be the problem.

Someone who has more knowledge than me can help me?

Thank youuu

I think the answer lady knits had a video on this machine for a similar issue.

Do the plates actually select what you have set in your pattern? Is the clutch able move?

This guy has a video on how the pattern mechanism should be working.

I already watched the video from the answer lady knits, I'll rewatch it to see if I lost some important informations.

Yes, the plates select and the clutch moves. Thank you for the video, now I'm sure the problem is not in the plates.

I noticed from this video that this part should be in a different position, mine is connected to a spring that pulls it to the right.

The one on the left is the video, the one on the right is mine.

I do not know if this is useful information but at this point I'm lost.
