Don't know what sources you've got, but if you'd look at the actual numbers, flaps 22 landings were just fine for a few months, then had issues, went back to flaps 45, and flaps 45 landings were just fine for a few months, then had issues.
Moral: The troops are good at what the commander inspects.
Has nothing to do with flaps 22 or 45.
