If you feel that the tension is roughly the same for both your middle finger, and the small key above it (the F# tone-hole), and that neither of them seem to be sealing well; it could be that the mechanism is closing the forked-F vent rather agressively.
Use only your ring finger to open the forked vent and see if your ciggie paper is held tight when you press your middle finger down. If so, you may want to back off that screw ever so slightly, and then adjust the tension of the two main keys again. The middle-finger pad should seal fully, then next adjust the little vent between index and middle fingers, and finally the forked F should just close, gripping the paper lightly. Use the thinnest paper you can buy!
