Running Shield Drop

So, I've noticed that when I try and shield drop by inputting dash beforehand, I can only drop through the platform by lightpressing the shoulder buttons. Whenever I try and do a full press, I'll drop through and airdodge in place, right below the platform. Lightpresses as I've said before are prefectly ok, and I can even do a regular shield drop (shield is up before I start to tilt the control stick) with either a lightpress or hardpress. I've tested across multiple controllers ranging from an old and dying indigo to a brand new white one (and everything in between). Is this happening because the game is reading a lightpress and THEN a hardpress when I start to move my shoulder buttons down? Thanks in advance.

This is probably a problem because of how brawl likes to act with hard presses/light presses. I'm guessing this could be related to why we can't hard press sheild and wavedash out, while holding sheild.
