Jamming Issue
So generally my setup works. My tip forming works - minimal stringing and no bulging. However, during prints it doesn't consistently feed or unfeed through the Y-adapter. It seems to get hung up in the adapter which prevents the next filament from entering the extruder, or it gets hung up while trying to feed the filament to the extruder. I've pulled the filament when it happens to check the tip and it looks fine - it should have been able to feed. Is there anything I can do to help this? It's stopping me from trusting it when doing a multi-color print.
I'm running on an Ender 5, direct drive, Phaetus all metal hot end, with klipper (see my post in getting started about Klipper).

Loosening the screws seems to have resolved my issue. Thanks Bill. Now dealing with inconsistent loading of the filament by the extruder. It feeds it in enough but the BMG is just not grabbing it consistently. If I manually give it a bit of pressure it will grab it but that's not effective. I have a few BMG extruders and tried different ones with no joy.
