Flashing red light on blackbox when attempting to install Kosmosima Grip

So, I am having trouble swapping from the MCG Grip to the Kosmosima grip - my blackbox is flashing red continually. I've tried disconnecting it from the stick extension and attaching it directly to the base, but the problem remains. Flashing it to the latest firmware just has it show up as the Gunfighter Vintage. What do I need to do to get this working right?

Little update: I did finally get it to run with beta firmware I found via Reddit, but if there is something more recent, it would be good to have. Thanks!

Are there any other issues unless flashing LED(x)? What LEDs are flashing?
LEDs may be set up to indicate a lot of events. If you use Kosmosima grip - but firmware that has it show up as the Gunfighter Vintage - settings may be inappropriate.
Please run vkbdevcfg.exe and show screenshots of External-LEDs tab.

It was the "Stick" LED light on the Black Box that was flashing. Turns out that yes, I was using the wrong firmware for the stick. I eventually found Alex Oz's webpage, where the latest SCG beta firmware builds are located and flashed the file downloaded from there. Now, all is working like it should be. The status lights on the Black Box are no longer showing any errors.

Now, with that said, is there a later or more proper firmware build I should be running? (1_96_6 is the file version I flashed to the stick).
