If you're not having feeding issues then there's no problem.

From my understanding, the tappet plate is a few MM too long. The sector gear nub doesn't pull it back far enough for the nozzle to clear the feed hole. As a result BBs don't get pushed up and chambered into the hop up unit.

There are two fixes:
1. Get a new tappet plate for 4 bucks. Take it to town with a dremel as the Lonex box requires cut puts.

2. Get a bigger sector gear clip that looks like a giant bean. I think JG ones are like this. It's also possible to make your own.

I emailed Lonex about issue #1 last night. Will keep you all posted.
