Wrong adjustment
To prevent the toilet flapper from closing too quickly after flushing, you can adjust the chain connected to the flapper. Make sure there’s enough slack in the chain, allowing the flapper to stay open longer. Alternatively, you can add a weighted object to the flapper or replace it with one that has a slower closing mechanism. Additionally, check the flush valve seat for wear, as a worn seat can cause the flapper to malfunction.
Mine has neither and it works perfectly I install this type all the time
A toilet flapper is found inside the tank of a toilet. It is a rubber stopper that rests over the water outlet. As the bowl is flushed, the apparatus lifts the flapper over the drain outlet hole. As the bowl and tank refills, the apparatus drops the flapper so it is again seated over the drain hole. Once the water in the tank reaches a certain level, the water automatically stops. Note: If your toilet constantly runs, most likely the flapper has not completely seated itself in the hole. Hard water can cause mineral deposits around the drain which prevents the flapper from seating properly. Also the rubber can become old and leak around the edges.NOTE: Not to be confused with 1920s "flappers", women who dressed in short skirts, gaudy jewelry and headbands, and were fond of dancing.

When the toilet is flushed, the flapper lifts up to allow water to flow from the tank into the bowl, causing the toilet to flush.
