The top plate should be adjusted so it has a tiny amount of movement in it when the other LH ring keys are closed (depending on the configuration - usually by the LH2 ring key or the LH3 ring key if an S2 was ordered with fully automatic 8ves).

The thumbplate will fully close both Bb and C toneholes and on instruments with the LH1 fingerplate linked to the LH2 ring key/C key, it will lower the top plate but won't fully close it - just leaving it open by a mere crack. You probably won't see that it's only just open, but you should just be able to feel it when closing LH1 lightly.
