Strange issue with 4 in combos

[rev0lver]

Hello my fellow fan-throwers, I've been having a problem that I haven't been able to fix.

I like to use combos that start like this:

f21, njp, 4~fan, dash, 4~fan lift

However, I always end up replacing the second 4 with 2. When I use 2, I can hit it perfectly about 95% of the time. However, about 95% of the time I try to use 4, I somehow do f4 which is too slow to continue the combo. Is there any reason other than my controller why this is happening? I mean, I'm literally doing nothing different except pressing 4 instead of 2, and I've never had a problem with f2 coming out. I know it's a small damage difference between using 4 and 2, but I'd rather maximize it.

not letting the d-pad return to neutral before pressing 4? but if that were the case you'd be getting f2 coming out too...so not too sure.
I have no problem landing the combo at all.

I've been practicing lately, and I've not been able to get the 4 to connect at all. Either nothing, or more often like you, the f4 comes out. 2 work fine though. I'd rather give up the little damage for consistency.

Do a dash for the first 4. It makes connecting the second 4 so much easier.

Dash and buffer the 4 before you actually feel that it should be hitting. Like during the dash.
