With most flash accessories I'm used to, the ground contact points are to the shiny metal edges of the hotshoe flanges rather than to the top or underside. If you look into the slots of the accessory (flash or whatever) you should see some curved spring clips. Intermittent contact is an ongoing issue with hotshoes. Poor design in general. Oils tend to build up on the metal parts involved and must be cleaned with a chemical contact spray or a microfibre cloth, if you can squeeze it into the slots.
I tend to hit the contacts on the hotshoe with a pencil eraser when I run into that problem.
