Problem with toy touch after vajra assist scores a hard knockdown (possible bug?)

So I was trying out a new team of felicia/wesker/strider with the strategy of having two characters who can easily OTG into combo when the Vajra assist hits the opponent for a hard knockdown. But for some strange reason, Felicia will randomly be unable to properly combo off the toy touch because she gets pushed back farther than she normally does if she toy touches after a vajra knockdown.

It’s really bumming me out because this completely messes up the team strategy. Sometimes it won’t happen, but it’s been happening often enough to make comboing after vajra nonviable for Felicia, at least in my opinion.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?
