Default Air Flow restriction on a new LT46 Cadet

Cub Cadet LT46, my recent purchase along with OEM triple bagger system. My problem is the leaves and grass is not all being picked up to go into the bagger shoot. There is no blockage and everything is installed according to instructions. And the blades are not upside down. The rpm is at full throttle and normal deck height about 3”. Too much debris is coming out of the front right side of the mower deck ahead of the deck discharge area. There’s no difference in speed adjustments or height adjustments, it still does it. There’s no blockage in the shoot or bagger system. It has ultra high lift blades installed.
Note: I still use a 24 year old Troybilt Bronco with a triple bagger and this problem doesn’t happen. No special blades.
The latest: I purchased an Anemometer to measure the air speed in various areas.
2024 Cadet. 2000 Troybilt. Both 7.5” inside diameter shoot
33 mph. Mid shoot speed. 26 mph. (both shoots wide open)
3.8 mph. Bagger discharge air. 9.0 mph
It appears there is a restriction of air flow. Who can I chat with about this problem?
