I have adjusted the small pocket for the primer to sit in up and down both directions make no difference it's like the primer feed hits the rim not letting it go in far enough to place the primer in the pocket because it touches 100% of the time I have to push fairly hard or harder than you should have to push and way harder than I see every video on YouTube on how to use it to get the primer to fall in that pocket

Sounds like your primer feed arm is swinging in to low and contacting the primer rocker. Try adding a thin washer under the mounting bolt for the primer system. That will raise the whole primer system a 32 in or so. You want that arm to swing in with no contact and kind of hover over the cap in the rocker untill you release the primer. It takes a bit to adjust but once you get it right, it is a VERY reliable and easy to use system.
I run two LCT presses to make thousands of rounds a year. I can't remember the last time either dropped a primer
