Does anyone have any tips for keeping the end of the dip tub under the surface of the beer in a fermzilla all rounder or similar when doing a transfer?

I've noticed a couple of times now the dip tube ends up sitting on the surface and I end up with a lot gas and froth going into the keg and wasting gas. As a result I have to slosh it about a bit to get it back under the surface again.

***update*** bit more research suggests slipping a couple of stainless nuts/washers over the dip tube

I have removed the metal tube and fitted a small kegland filter on mine and the extra weight seems to work!
