Camera reading mouth shapes

I'm working on my latest puppet and I'm having trouble. The camera is picking up on my mouth shapes and is triggering my "Singles" group of mouths.  I want this group to be only triggered by the number keys that are associated with it.

Additionally, my "Sad" or "Alt" mouth group is not working and when I trigger it, it is not locking. I'm sure this is all user error, but I've built several puppets like his and have not had these problems before.

Could you share the rigging hierarchy? I am not sure what "singles" means - assume a group in the hierarchy. 

 

The swapset shown on the screen looks a little funny - it has mouth in same swapset as surprised (which is normally a child of mouth) and sad (which is not normally a child) - but you might be doing things differently which rigging would help make clear. (eg maybe you are not using lipsync ).

 

To keep something on that is normally the "Latch" setting on a trigger. See how the letter buttons are different colors (black and gray) for triggers in swap set? i think some triggers have latch turned on and others do not.

Here is the rigging heirarchy. The layers in the "Singles" group are showing up in response to the camera and creating an overlap with the "Mouth" group.

And ah yes! Latch wasn't checked on the "Sad" group. Thanks!
