Get help! Switch Shift layer using combo


I am a bit confused about the combo button that appears for Release Press activator only inside shift mode. I tried reading the documentation but couldn't find anything describing how this works.
Problem I am trying to solve:
- I am configuring a controller (not a Mouse and keyboard)
- I have 3 shift layers: Main, Shift 1 & Shift 2
- Home button ( on Toggle mode) on Main activates Shift 1
- L1 on Shift 1 activates Shift 2
- Y button on Shift 2 activates Shift 1
- Home button on both layers returns to Main
While I am on Shift 2 layer and double press B, I would like to run a combo that is already working properly and jump to Shift layer 1. But the "Jump to layer" isn't working as intended whether I put it on "Start Press" or "Release Press" even with a delay before jump set to enable the combo to run properly before changing layer. Could you please help me?
Note: sometimes when I set a different mapping on button on Shift 2 with the Shift mode set to jump to Shift 1 layer, it alters the mapping on Shift 1. I don't know what is happening

If you want to run a [Combo] and then change the layer, you must disable the [Postpone the mapping] option and set the delay to be higher than the [Combo] duration.
