small rifle primers flipping

I am new to reloading. I am useing a 550B and am having a problem with ever 5th or so small rifle primers flipping upside down. whats the fix for this? before I caught the problem I actually loaded a few primers into the case upside down, can these be safely removed ?

Before you loaded primers into the feed, did you exchange both the primer magazine and the primer slide bar over to those for small primers?

Yeah, I did that. They feed thru the small tube ok, but appear to be flipping over during transfer to the primer seating cup. I did'nt assemble this press, the person that I bought it from did. I noticed in the assembly manual that there is a large and small primer seating cup as well as a small primer seating punch. The press was delivered set up for large primers, I changed to small primers, changing only the magazine tubes. this may be the problem

Well, I read the reply by Dillon then changed to the small primer bar and it seems ok. Thanks
