whit playing the flat stapples it tends to fret better playing whit a low string tension feels better then a high string tention, they tend to slip and tweek more ,but that must be my playing ,that i do not press the string down enough, i think !

I tried this a few times but the staples weren’t tall enough to get any good sound? Hope it works for you?
