Garmin Livescope Issue with Losing Structure on Graph

[EasTex86]

I need some help. I have a Garmin Echo Map Ultra 126sv with my Garmin Panoptix Livescope LVS32 transducer.
I can find timber and structure with my forward range at 20 feet and out to 60 feet and further but when I approach this timber around 10 feet or less I’m not seeing timber anymore on display. I manually set my depth range and I have TVG set at medium and my Gain is anywhere from 60 to 85. I can see my bait within 10 feet or less but not timber. I have my transducer on my trolling motor shaft and my power source for my trolling motor is separate power from my echomap 126sv display and my sonar module. I believe this could be a settings issue but have tried several things with no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Is transducer on left or right on shaft?

And we need a pic of the angle.

Looks like you have about 1/3 of the elements blocked. The ones in blue.

could this be causing me issue on forward view?

[LWINCHESTER2]

Yes

Easy test put on a broom stick or a pole drop down on side of boat see if charges

Also does it looks like it needs to be rotated up a little more?

I'm not familiar with the troller but if the nose of the foot is pointed forward when in use, wouldn't the ducer be facing backwards toward rear of boat?

[TOUCH OF CLASS]

Yes and turn up as said it’s in the position for port side now

First thing I would try is turning TVG down or even off.

Do what TOC said. How hard could that be?
