The pitch is a 12/12 or 45 degree. When I try to use a piece of crown
at the top the back of the moulding just lays on the 45 degree ceiling
because the angle of the sprung crown is the same as the ceiling
pitch.

Any clues? Do they sell crowns that are cut at a different angle?

what's the problem with the crown being tight to the ceiling?
it ISN'T tight to the ceiling. the bevel on the back of the
molding doesn't match the angle needed. I have the same
issue in my house. I was gonna install molding and decided
it was too much of a PITA to shave the bevel down, so I
returned the molding for a refund. Some things are just
more hassle than I'm willing to put up with.
