Do you end up with a floppy lever? Might not be obvious as the spring in the shifter could stop it from doing this.
Yes the lever is very floppy and needs to be pulled right back to engage the caliper
It’s a known issue, the piston gets stuck. A relatively easy fix if you’re mechanically minded. Take a look at this vid from SRAM themselves. I find the hardest part is reinstalling the circlip at the end.
