Roland W Offline Upload & Sell: On

Wimberley is the other plate maker that has the same geometry on their plates, and you can sure their plates work well in the Really Right Stuff lever clamps. But ofcourse Wimberley plates cost about the same as true RRS ones. Other plates may or may not work, as you have discovered. The plates made by Hejnar Photo claim to be compatible, and I own a few that work fine.
Some of the lever release clamps that RRS sells have a new design that accommodates a much wider range of plates and still clamps well. You could verify with RRS which clamps have the improved design, and consider replacing your lever clamp with a new one.
I really love RRS lever release clamps and RRS L brackets and RRS general purpose plates, and have a lot of there hardware. If I had mixed brands and was trying to find a solution, I would get rid of the plates that do not work, and acquire a few of the RRS plates that will for sure work, and move forward, knowing you have a reliable and easy to use system.
Many people that consider an adjustable clamp and get one are disappointed when it changes adjustment on its own, causing issues. Also, if you need to adjust it to fit different plates in your system, it is not really a quick release, and you would likely be better off with a screw clamp, or standardizing on plates that all fit.
