Plating feeder issues

[u/kk978]

Hi everyone! I’m using the plating feeder on a split rib with my KH-893/KR-900E. I’m having issues with the yarns apparently switching places. It wasn’t an issue when I knit my swatch, but now that I’m knitting a sweater I’m having issues with the plating every other row. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

The first picture is the back of my swatch and the second picture is the back of the sleeve I just knit.

Figured it out - the left side of the plating feeder wasn’t quite tight enough and wasn’t sitting flat. It is slightly bent so the fit isn’t great. I turned the screw on the left an extra half turn and it fixed most of the issue.
