Take profit targets

I’ve set up scale in / scale out so that I can add / reduce to orders as the price actions progresses, but I’ve noticed that when I add to an order to my first (placing 3 orders on each trade), the first of my 2 take profit targets is ‘ignored’ and all of the new order is added to the 2nd (highest / riskier) take profit target as you can see in the example below.

Is there a way to set it so that rather than doing this and making the trade more ‘top heavy’ and risky, as I scale up / down SC distributes the change in orders so that they are shared across multiple targets? Hope I’ve explained that OK? I’m just trying to remove the risk of taking 1 position off at the 1st target and then having to wait for the price to rise again to take off the remaining (5) trades in the example below. Risk management I guess.
