Pin Behavior Not Working - Inconsistent Effect w/ Platformer

I'm making a platformer where the player controls 2 characters tethered to each other like Knuckles Chaotix.

C3P attached below. Arrows to move/jump, X to switch character.

I used the Pin behavior. When initializing the pin/rope/distance at the start of a layout, the non-controlled player remains stationary no matter how hard you tug against it. But if you swap characters, the non-controlled character will be dragged with their movement, and it remains that way.

Is there any way to choose 1 Pin/Platformer type over the other? Have I done something with the event sheet? Should I be using something else to tether the characters together?

Didn't you pin them the opposite way on start of layout? It looks like it should be B pinned to A

Yes, I solved it within 20 minutes of posting this lol. The 'X' action pins the inactive character to the leader instead of the other way around. I fixed it and now they maintain weight as intended
