You changed two things at once, so you can't be sure which one caused that result. You moved the antenna AND you added the preamp.
I may have been unclear.

I added the preamp only after testing without it.
It was this one

It looks like the box may have been opened.
Perhaps, that is where the instructions went.
I'll check out the link.

it doesn't always make good contact with the VHF antenna.
I didn't connect to the VHF.
Just the UHF.

This is the one I have coming Tuesday

I have a real one sitting too high up to reach on my VHF antenna.


The present splitter is similar to this

I don't quite understand what you did. If you connected a UHF antenna and a VHF antenna to a splitter to combine them, that is the wrong device to combine a UHF antenna with a VHF antenna.
I needed a way to combine my VHF and UHF into my CM amp.
I had read that these splitters, sometimes, work.
They didn't for me.

It's all I could get in my small town.
Last Friday I, also, went to the next town 30 miles away looking for something.
Tried Lowes, Home Depot, Target, Walmart and some smaller places.
Too bad Radio Shack's not around anymore.
