Recommended Magic Mouse 2 middle click configuration

I'm using BetterTouchTool 3.570 (1710) on macOS 10.15.7 with a Magic Mouse 2.

I'm having trouble configuring the middle click on the mouse. I've tried the 3 Finger Click and a 2 Finger Click. The click is usually recognized correctly and works as expected with Firefox for example.

The problem is that a regular single finger click is also sometimes registered as a middle click. This means I'll be clicking a tab in a browser and the tab will close unexpectedly, or I'll click somewhere on a form and the mouse pointer changes to the scroll icon (the circle with the up and down arrows). I can restore the tabs but it's starting to drive me bananas.

Is there a configuration switch somewhere that I can flip that can make this middle click detection less sensitive?

Do I have to spread my hand more to only keep one finger on the mouse?
