It doesn't seem to want to turn sideways, or get cocked. When I first started using them I would seat the button on the charge with therod before I loaded the bullet. Then I started just pushing the button in about 1/4" with my finger, loading the bullet, and ramming the whole works down together. I've never had one not go down flat on the charge. I can tell by the witness mark on the ramrod that the button is laying flat.
