hi,
The first thing you need to check if the craw foot is adjusted properly so the E/B key closes together with the F/C key.
Even slightest misalignment will cause troubles playing long B, thus making the transition to long B problematic, unless you press very hard on the key.
Also, if the pads on those two keys are not installed correctly, playing long B will require more finger pressure.

It helps to play long B with the F/C key closed as well- if there is a problem with alignment, it may help.

I am sure you will get more advice here from other participants.
