Broken screwdriver 1.17.1 - Beta

I have built a second EBF with kanthal coils but I can't seem to right click it with the screwdriver to make it assume the correct shape.
I have done this before in the past but on a previous version. I've tried regular right clicks and shift+right clicks. I even made a new EBF block and screwdriver, just to be sure that I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm on the latest 1.17.1 beta release from yesterday.

Reproduction steps:

1. Build EBF, kanthal coils, steel item input and steel fluid ouput
2. Right click (and/or shift+ right click) EBF block with screwdriver

Additional troubleshooting information:

• I have confirmed that the block's activeShape value does not change from 0 to 1 after using the screwdriver
• I have tried setting the activeShape value of the EBF to 1 using commands. This has removed the red block wrench-overlay but when I right click the EBF with an empty hand it still tells me Shape Invalid and will not process any materials
• A kanthal EBF built in a previous version does work and process materials without issue but I'm afraid to remove or alter blocks from it currently 😅
• [edit 26/11/2021] I have also found out that I can't make Large tanks assume other shapes than the default 3x3x3. It would appear that there is a larger problem at hand with multi block structures Apparently I don't know how to build tanks properly
