key adjustment

I've been having a lot of trouble with getting my Buffet s1 to speak in certain passages. These passages involve mid register changes from d sharp/e flat to other long fingerings but I don't have trouble always and some days seem worse than others. I am not having this problem with my R13 A clarinet or my Leblanc LL. In examining the two clarinets, I find the the key for alternative fingering of f sharp/ g flat (middle register) on my Leblanc is considerably higher and also the key itself is shorter, that is it doesn't extend so far over the instrument. I'm wondering if I might be slightly bumping the key causing it to vent sometimes? Of course, none of you can see me playing, but I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem. The A clarinet has an identical key, it seems, but of course the instrument has slightly more space between the tone holes. I'm sorry that this is a bit long.
