Make sure the copper contact in your lower plate does not move relative to the steel backing plate. Remove the lower plate, hold it in a vice by the steel base and try to wiggle the copper contact plate back and forth. I have found the brass rivets were not crimped enough on a few NuRex lower plates and the copper contact plate moved slightly pushing the rivet against the steel base plate and gounding out the primary ignition. Try to center the rivets in their holes with their insulating washers centered in place. Then, using a punch and a small anvil under the rivet head, crimp the rivets in their proper place.
