You're going too far back, I'm not really sure what the ledge is, but its always there. Just ignore it and pick closer to the front.
It's all in the wrist.

Haha. Good answer. Also, remember its just a 4 pin lock. So use your pick and feel for the 4 different pins, that way you know where they are before you start picking.

ledge

the ledge might be the locking dog, put the pick on it when turning the plug and see if it moves, be prepared to release and remove the pick.

This could be one of those chinese knockoffs that you can touch and actually move the locking dog without even picking the plug.

If anyone knows the model and can confirm or deny.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
