Brilliant Event traces impossible to collect

Hello,
I'm new to this forum but I love the game and I've been playing for a while now. I'm on level 10, a magizoologist, and I've been playing a lot lately, but I'm finding that most of the Brilliant Event foundables, (Buckbeak, the baby dragon, and Hagrid) are impossible to complete. Even when I apparently cast a "great" spellcast, while on the potent extimulo potion, it says the magic resisted me and it eventually departs. I've tried it with AR on and off and I tried turning on trace auto-align, and nothing has changed. Every once in a while it randomly works whether the spellcast is any good or not, but most of the time no matter what I do, I have no success. It's extremely frustrating; it seems to be just a matter of pure chance now whether it'll work or not, and I think that's highly unfair. I'm suppose to catch up to 20 of each of these, and that's way too overwhelming at the rate things have been going. I've successfully caught maybe 5 total this entire weekend. All of that said, I love this game, it gives me lots of joy, and everything else seems to be working just fine as far as I can tell. I just want something done about this, so that it's at least reasonable. I am loving every other aspect of the game and I want it to be fair.

in my experience, i think, if your SOS mastery is low, you should rely heavily on potent extimulo ( like old days before SOS training exist).
my SOS training is pretty much basic-intermediate (meaning not really pushing into taking lesson with DADA too much; general mastery about 1600-1700 ish) and when my extimulo upgrade is maxed i could easily return hagrid while using just strong extimulo with just one or two cast usually (great cast on average).
my only advice is this: focus on lvlying up, up to lv 40 (I think) you get several 'free' spell mastery nodes (they unlock w/o need to spend resources) and then at the same time focus on returning foundables high-emergency threat lvl (other than the low-mediums you may need for your registry), high give 2 fgs, severes 8 and emergencies 20, and the more you prestige your pages (wood - bronze - silver - gold) the higher your ministry manual rewards will be as well.
I'd also recommend doing the sos nodes for boosting basic extim and strong potions (the ones that dont require rare ingredients (unicorn hair) to brew) and the nodes for brew reduction times on these 2, so you can use them to improve chances of returning stuff, fully boosted basic extim can be as powerful as the strong, and the strong as powerful as a potent, w the potent becoming overkill, but that requires dada to max out, and id fully recommend spending rsbs (unless you need them for main profession) and dadas on spell mastery and depart reduction to make your life easier.
To fasten lvlying up you can also spend some fg/mm's on wxp on treasury trunks (the ones you get when you rank up in exploration registry that you also get scrolls and runes from).
Also, 'great' or 'masterful' wont improve your chances of returning anything, all they do is reward larger wxp on reward screen.
And yeah the way theyve made the game is nigh-impossible for new players, a fact they seem either oblivious or completely uncaring on.
