... dutchy, maybe giving 1st & 2nd joint a little nudge over so the G# & LEb keys fit a bit closer together might help you, there's a bit of width on the little flanges left and right of centre on the back links to move over a little bit, don't have to be spot-on centre aligned, experiment (and yes, grease up a bit first)
... this helps on the bell too, to improve the closure of low Bb, just nudging the alignment other side of centre lightens the amount of pressure needed to close the Bb, assuming of course that Bb's otherwise working OK
think the comments on various models spot-on, my Yamaha 441 is definitely more comfortably fitted here than Y's beginner 211 model, which has a 'heavy' long lever G# key and a 'light' LEb wing key, opening the G# is 'work' and ergonomically the fulcrum of the long G# key is too far out to push the Eb open at the same time
seems appropriate design ... as if! beginners do 5 & 6 flats!
