Pivot Binding Question

Just got my fks mounted and tried them out on carpet and the heel would press down when I put my weight back and the brakes would pop up farther. Is this the elastic travel or am I fucked?
I used them before with these boots on different skis and the heel just picked up alittle then.
Din is a 9.5

i dont understand what your issue is. When you lean back the brakes go up further? is that what your saying?

When I put my weight more on my heel the brakes pop up more and the heel feels like it compresses

sounds like the shop didnt set the forward pressure correctly. Take it back to them to get it double checked if you can, otherwise follow the instructions on page 18 of the link http://store.ornellosport.com/ManualeAttacchiRossi1011.pdf

also how old are your boots/ what condition are the heels in? if the heel is worn down that could also cause play

They where new the end of last season and the soles are good, i looked around on reddit and found it might be forward pressure adjustment, could that be it?
