Issues with IR sensor while printing PVA

With the new chimney and IR sensor I am having issues while printing PVA as a support. The chimney doesn't seem to get pushed over far enough for the IR sensor to detect the filament being loaded. I imagine it is because the filament is softer than PLA or ABS. I have tried moving the chimney around without much luck. Any suggestions?

I've never used PVA but backing off the tension on the extruder door might help. That way your flexible filament isn't squished as much when it runs through the bond tech gears.
