Although the Eb clarinet is in one main section, it does (or my 1960s Buffet does) have a bridge mechanism between the upper and lower key stacks. This bridge has to perform the same balancing act as the bridge keys between the two main sections of a soprano. If the adjustment is right, the pad above the RH index finger pad that closes with the index finger ring for and and the pad under the throat A key that produces and close simultaneously and completely. If the adjustment isn't right, one of those pads will close first and the other will be kept slightly open. If the upper pad is closing first, it could be keeping the lower pad from closing completely without very firm pressure on the ring. Or, it could be a leaky pad or pads somewhere above the RH index finger. Karl
