      Hi Samantha,

      The first thing you could try (if you haven't done that already), is to increase the number of rRigid Body calculations per Frame:

      (The Solver Iterations is for Rigid Body Constraints, which you don't have if I'm not mistaken.)

      Giving the plane some thickness could help too.

      That shouldn't matter if you use a Box Collider, or even a (default) Convex Hull collider as far as I know. But do feel free to experiment with that!

      Oh wait, Sascha is absolutely right; adding more thickness should help with the Collision detection, just like increasing the number of Subframes, but it's much cheaper than the latter.

      I seem to remember having a similar issue and thickness fixed it. I think zero thickness is always a bit tricky with that stuff.
