Problems with the Slide Extension for the xTool F2

Hello Community,
I bought the slide extension together with my xTool F2, in order to engrave 25 pencils that are organised on a tray. 
Problem 1:
When I take a panorama picture, the slide extension accelerates and stops so fast, that whatever is arranged on the slide extension moves. In my case, the tray. 


Problem 2:
The pictures that are taken are not being put together correctly afterwards. There are three pictures attached. One shows the tray that I made using another laser and Lightburn. One shows the same tray on the slide extension. The pictures where made with the camera of the F2. The third picture shows the number 9 of the scale printed on the slide extension. It´s being shown twice. Which means, that the pictures are not being put together correctly. Worst of all, the picture is being put together wrong in X and Y direction.

Problem 3: Grid arrangement. Why am I limited to 20 X copies? My tray has room for 25 pencils. Why can I only use whole numbers for the X distance. If I want a distance of 20,5mm, it's impossible to set up. The laser can engrave at 20.5mm. Easy. Why can´t I set it up like that?
Is there a setting in the software that unlocks options for more experienced users?
