This a pretty common problem with the Baggs Element pickup and usually worse with lighter strings. The simplest solution is a few layers of paper under the saddle (and on top of the Element transducer) spanning from the midpoint between the B & E strings and the end of the saddle. There are three layers of thin paper under the high E of my gigging guitar right now. It had zero impact on the acoustic volume/tone and completely fixed the weak high-E plugged-in problem.
