Maybe I did not make it clear... I am not advocating touching the Flap Lever at all until everybody is 100% clear what is going on.
"Pulling Speed" might sound like a good immediate option, but even that needs thinking about. If you are F2/3, select F1 (above F speed) and get a problem, speed is likely well below S which is Config Speed for your selected Config - actual config "unknown" but somewhere between F1 and 2. Potentially a problem if Flaps are ~F1, speed near F
