flex-to-solid contact has been used for a long time by various customers across different industries.
To me it seems as if you do not have proper RBE element definition and/or perhaps proper interface node definition.
For example, if the interface node is only connected to a few slave nodes on the mesh, then these nodes and this their elements will be responsible for bearing the reaction forces/torques. This is while in reality, there is a larger surface or volume that bears the reaction forces/torques. Therefore a proper selected slave nodes can fix such issue.
