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.

This is because by default the mode finding begins from the largest neff, which is mostly inside metal.

You can uncheck "use max index", and specify the original neff data in "n" from the case without the metal.

you may also need to set more number of trial modes, since even though you set the "n" at the neff from previous result, it may begin from larger value.
