Maybe try flipping it the other way? Idk I'm not an expert but for some reason my old pumps you flip the lever down 90° to lock it but on my newer pumps you flip it straight (so it's pointing the same direction as the valve, towards the center of the wheel).
When using a new pump I just keep flipping it differently until it works, and I generally don't have problems with presta. Not sure if some pumps make you flip it differently depending on the valve type - it seems like they all invent their own way to support both so it's confusing.
