Hayward In-wall above ground pool skimmer

[poolsam]

have my pump on a timer. Inflow is via this skimmer. Problem is that whoever pump turns off, the skimmer basket floats up and when pump restarts, it remains in an awkward position as shown. Pool debris them bypasses skimmer basket to pump.
Is my Hayward skimmer not working? I presume the basket should look in place to avoid this issue.

I suggest placing a small rock in the bottom of the basket...that's what I did and solved my floater
