Ligament to Ligament Movement

Hello, I am currently working on a model of the hand where there would be an artificial tendon piece connected between the muscle and the finger ligaments. However on trying to get this model to work the simulations are un-moving and the model acts in such a way that the force from the muscle is una...

However the forces that I get back jump up and down between about -32 and 10 N after the fingers make contact, I am unsure of...
