Pallet stun timing

Need some help from the experts here. I have had a few matches recently where I thought I was timing a pallet stun properly, but each time the killer would swing as I was dropping the pallet. I would hear the killer grunt from being stunned, but the survivor they were carrying would not escape. I always thought that you had to wait until the killer had essentially finished picking up the survivor before dropping the pallet, but that hasn’t worked for me lately. Any advice here on the right timing for pallet stuns?

    You have to wait until the survivor is fully picked up, but as you have seen, pressing M1 will cancel it. It cancels power struggle too. I don't know why but it's been like that for a long time. I"m sure this bug will be labeled as a "feature" soon by the developers. "Oh uuuuh yeah, we meant for that as a counter play"

    Ugh yh pallet saves are a nightmare. Only managed 2 recently, one that was flawlessly timed against a wesker and one absolute no brainer where a skull merchant who while carrying someone straight up walked into a pallet i was hiding behind 😬 she DC'd less than 5 seconds after

    But I've had so many where I've thrown the pallet and just seen the killer get shoved a bit, just can't seem to get the timing right
