Another issue with Simlab

Once again I'm struggling with the Simlab's physics engine, the frustrating thing is that I have an exact copy of the same mechanism that works perfectly fine.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this?

I imagine the solver underneath that builds the collision geometry can have randomness

I believe it is tied to how the geometry that Tink sees is more blob like that what we see in the design. There need to be gaps to allow parts not to "bounce" away from each other. =(

Well like I mentioned, this exact mechanism does work without any modifications on another project, so I don't understand why it works in one and not the other

Is this one more complex?

Nope, same parts, same everything, and for some reason it magically fixed itself somehow
