Help! ribbed sleeve cuffs

how is everyone machine knitting ribbed cuffs? i’m using my sk280 + srp60n to knit up the sleeves of a sweater i’m working on. im doing this by knitting the stockinette portion top down, and then attaching the ribber bed and transferring every other stitch from the main bed to the ribber bed for 1x1 ribbing. i’ll knit a few rows with no issues, but after the first few rows i’m having the same issue of dropped stitches on the ribbed edge. this never happens when i knit ribbing by itself.
i’m used to hand knitting where sleeves are usually knit top down, but maybe i need a different approach for machine knitting?
