So I managed to fix 1 problem although it shouldn't be a problem.
Somehow my warthog throttle is interfering with the stick. Specifically 1 button #23 which on mine is the front 5 way push IN button. I had my SCB's mapped to that.
Now in game while in combat I use the thrusters (index finger 4 way hat) A LOT and the SCB's were firing while I was using the thrusters randomly. I remapped then SCB's to the push forward button on the same 5 way and is good now.

Still having the button 14(thumb 5 way UP) activating intermittently while pressing/holding button 4 (RED). See Jake's pic above. Same buttons but different numbers.

Please, try to make the screenshots from 1.91.F
Have a difference in FW. Only buttons log from latest firmware can help us to solve the problem.
Thank you.

I am having the Red button (4) -> button 14 phantom intermittent button press issue as well on my MCG Pro (3 pin). I've tried firmware 1.92.1 which does not fix the issue. Is there a known fix for this?

i had issues with random break lever activations when moving the stick. after i reseated the stick on the base this issue was gone. i think i didnt tighten the stick enough and the pins on the stick were losing connection when moving it.
i havent had this problem again since

I think you have correctly identified the problem. The base lost contact with the grip.

I have a similar issue too for my MCG Pro + stick extension. Here are some of my issues:
1. When I move the stick, sometimes button #18 (the push in button of the 4 way switch below the POV ministick) and button # 23 (the push in button of the 4 way switch at the front right of the grip) will activate intermittently
2. It is more rare to happen but button #9 (the push in button of the 4 way switch on the thumb position) and pov 1 (I believe down position) will also activate intermittently
3. On releasing the button #4 (the red button), button #14 (the up position of the 4 way switch below the POV ministick) sometimes will activate
4. In a rare occasion, even without moving the joystick, by just leaving the stick in close to centre position, #18, #23 and #9 button will just continue to activate intermittently

I have followed the steps from https://vkbcontrollers.com/?p=15551 to flash, reset and calibrate the stick, I have also tighten up all the screws but the problems above still exist.

Try a newer firmware and configurator, take here and here. Carefully, do not confuse the device.
