Default CFL bulb won't work upside down in a particular light fixture

I've got a hanging light fixture in which I can't get CFL bulbs to
work. They work fine screwed upside down in my garage light sockets,
the bulb is confirmed working in other lamps.

Standard bulbs work fine in this same hanging fixture. Any theories as
to why the CFL bulbs don't want to work in it?

Bend the center contact up. Some CFLs don't go into the socket deep
enough.
