The plastic piece is underneath the metal pickup, and they both extend the full length of the saddle. I still can't figure out why the high e is having the volume problem.
And yes, I obviously know that I can take it to a shop. I have a steady hand and I enjoy fixing things myself. I've also seen other threads with similar problems but the answer is always "take it to the shop"
Does anybody know how I can fix this? Thank you!

Take it to the shop.
Sorry had to say it.
What “plastic thing” under the metal? Only thing under the saddle pickup should be is your bridge. If you mean it’s shimmed. Get a new saddle for $15 and refit it. I think uour $2K plus Guitar deserves it.
Btw, I absolutely LOVE my Songwriter.
