Shield Plus unavoidably flinches left with LH use; any solutions?

I have the Shield Plus (in .30 SC if that matters), and as a lefty it flinches left 1-2 mm at the muzzle every time while dry firing, regardless of how firm my grip is or how slow and deliberate my trigger pull is; it doesn’t happen when dry firing right-handed. I reported this to S&W over the phone last week and the nice lady said she’d never heard of this issue but her colleague confirmed it for her on the spot; she seemed genuinely surprised. Aside from the fact that S&W clearly didn’t have any lefties in the Shield Plus R&D team (this issue doesn’t happen with the original Shield M2.0 or any other make/model that I’ve used), this is a design flaw/problem that affects 10% of the population (and thus 10% of their customers).

Has anyone else experienced this, and other than aiming right to compensate, has anyone discovered any fixes? Thanks in advance from a lefty who otherwise loves this platform.
