laser joint only working for even number of shelves

Hi,

I'm new to onshape and have been working on a  design of a tab and slot storage rack using the laser joint feature script. When I apply the the script to my rack in automatic mode, it will only work if have an even number of shelves. If I have an odd number of shelves, it throws an error "laser joint did not generate properly". I can get it to generate if I deselect the middle shelf, although obviously this means that tab and slots are not generated for this middle shelf.

V1 (rack with no tab and laser joint applied)

V2 (even number of shelves, successful laser joint)

Can anyone help me understand what is going on here?

Thanks!
