You have to press them several times to keep them in the down position. If it then settles and rises, the ball will go nowhere. It looks like this item and the piece you are trying to transfer the marble to are not the correct height. I wanted to return it but it was a gift and they said they would keep it. I have purchased three items that were such accessories and two of them are useless.
