Flippers tipping over forwards despite my attempts to fix this[SOLVED]

Forgive me if this question is too easy to solve, I search throughout the forum only to not get exactly my issue. Whenever I attempt to make a flipper in DSL 2.2 with either a Beta motor or the pneumatic motors no matter what extenders or component combinations of weight/size I use the robot will almost universally tip over it's front end when flipping a robot. I at first figured this was because most of my bots are 2 wheeled drive, but after testing with a 4wd robot the issue persists. What do builders here use to make these types of flippers without the issue I am facing. Pic related is Cranky Spanky from the irl ai pack with it's clamper removed to better illustrate what type of flipper I am trying and failing to make.

Because you have nothing poking out the chassis towards the flipper to stop it tipping over. The weight of the other robot + your weapon outweights your own bots weight and with nothing to stop you, you tip forward
