Deco x50 ethernet backhaul only works on 2/3 of decos.

I have 4 deco x50 units, all setup in AP mode. They all connect to a TP-Link TL-SG1024DE switch.
For some reason 1 of the 3 satellite decos is always in wifi backhaul mode. If I reboot the wifi deco, it switches to ethernet backhaul but then kicks one of the other ethernet backhauled units to wifi backhaul. They have been like this since I got them 9 months ago.
I have tried different ports, cable, changing which deco is the main unit, disabled "Loop Prevention" in my switch. Nothing has made a difference.
How can I fix this? Should I bypass the switch entirely? Is this "working by design"? It's driving me crazy.
Do you have your Deco connected to the switch like this:
or like that:
If it is like on the first picture, I have an idea of what may be wrong.
If they all, including Main Deco, connect to the switch like on the second picture, I have no idea and would suggest bypassing the switch. Having one Satellite on WiFi backhaul in that configuration is not "working by design."
