The advancing blade has less pitch but is moving down, increasing angle of attack, and it's seeing a higher airspeed. Flapping to equality is when the flapping (moving down) is sufficient to balance lift on either side. Of course, the opposite happens to the retreating blade.

I can't see any conflict here.
