I will get some more pics of the switches and post them for your investigation.
I will also try to get short video of what is happening, if I can get them from my phone to my computer. Not exactly sure how to do that.

That would be great. The Ross Regular switch is one of the most reliable switches made, so I do not think it is the problem. However, I have found that Ross switches, since they do not have a built in base like FasTrack, are prone to twisting if installed incorrectly. The switch works best when perfectly flat.

A possible issue is tightening the mounting screws too much. If you use screws to hold down the switch, tighten the screw to where it is just touching the tie. Several of my Ross switches don't have any screws in them; they are held in place by the connecting track sections.
