We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

The contacts are Far Open because the Pinball Radius is smaller than the distance between the nodes.

Instead of using contacts to bond elements together, try using Node Merge which will move the nodes to be coincident, then delete one of the nodes after it modified the element to use the other node.
