Primer system on Lee Classic Turret

So I'm getting a little frustrated with my Lee Classic Turret press. Everything works great so far, except the priming system.
When I transfer a primer (large or small) to the primer arm cup and lower the ram to align the primer wit the bottom of the case, the primer arm either doesn't hinge at the right time, or at the right place, because the top of the primer gets caught on the bottom of the shell holder, usually resulting in the primer being ejected from the cup, or turned sideways and crushed by the shell holder.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any fixes?

I'm not sure my description is very good, so I included pictures.
In the first pic, you can see the primer in the primer arm cup.
In the second picture, hopefully you can see where the primer makes contact with the shell holder on the "upswing" of the press handle.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376527019.836677.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1376527064.062759.jpg
