Trouble simulating expected electron waveform

Hi everyone, I am a physics undergrad student learning to use allpix-2 for the first time. I want to generate a realistic electron waveform hitting a simple pixel detector, but it seems like all the current is being induced as soon as the particle hits the pixel, with the electron hole pairs just catching up in the following nanoseconds. My geometry is a plate of 9x9 pixels, with size equal to cms detector pixels, and an electron beam of 5MeV being shot from -500um away. Uploaded is the current waveform for a 1MeV particle that i managed to obtain for reference. Desired current would include a thinner, 1ns pulse at a time later than t = 0 ns. I managed to obtain something resembling that through setting the energy to about 100kev, but I need something higher than 1MeV for my project purposes. Can anyone tell me why this behavior occurs and possible workarounds? I can also upload simulation configuration and geometry files if needed. Thank you.
