ATM9 Metal Press not working

[TronWoWGamer]

Minecraft Version

1.20.1

Immersive Engineering Version

1.20.1-10.0.0-169

Expected Behavior

Using the rod mold, put a copper ingot on the belt (hand fed and tried a hopper -- also tried an aluminum ingot) and get a copper or aluminum rod to come out the other side.

Actual Behavior

the ingot freezes in place on the conveyor belt. you can't remove the ingot. if you break the metal press and reform, the ingot is lost. also tried to use this to make blaze rods from blaze powder by dropping 5 blaze powder at one time and it ate the blaze powder. Also, the metal press does not show how much power is has which makes me think it's completely borked.

Steps to reproduce

1. build metal press
2. attach power (thermal dynamo the first time, IE copper wire cables connected to dynamo the second time)
3. put rod mold on press (also tried with gear mold)
4. toss on ingots (or blaze powder)
5. break and reform press when it doesn't do anything and ingots get stuck

I can't reproduce this. Can you confirm the recipes are present in JEI, and provide pictures of your setup?
