OnTriggerExit/OnTriggerEnter not working properly

Unity Engine
1

Hello everyone I have been trying to solve this problem for couple of days but with no luck.

Here is a setup. Game that I am doing is a match 3 type game. Board has Gems that are GameObjects and they all have Box Collider. Every gem has a tag “Gem” and every gem has 4 Detectors. One on tope bottom left and right. They also have Box Collider and a Script. This is the code of the Detectors Script.

public Gem owner;
 
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider c)
{
    if(c.tag == "Gem")
    {
    owner.AddNeighbor(c.GetComponent<Gem>());
    }
}
 
void OnTriggerExit(Collider c)
{
    if(c.tag == "Gem")
    {
    owner.RemoveNeighbor(c.GetComponent<Gem>());
    }
}

And a code from Gem script

public void AddNeighbor(Gem g)
{
    if(!Neighbors.Contains(g))
                   {
             Neighbors.Add(g);
    }
}
public void RemoveNeighbor(Gem g)
{
    Neighbors.Remove(g);
}

And now the problem.

When I start moving and matching gems some of the gems do not get their neighbors right. For example I match first 3 gems on Y axes and they are destroyed from top come falling 3 new gems. Gem that falls on the 4th gem on Y axes does not add the 4th gem as his neighbor and the 4th gem does not add 3rd gem as his neighbor. The other problem is that when I move gem sometimes he does not remove his old neighbor but just add new one then I have some weird matches because I am checking through the neighbor list to see potential matches. When the Board is created all gems have there neighbors properly detected.

make a debug on Trigger Funtions First

I figured it out. Problem was not in the script but in the models. Box collider was too large so sometimes the Gem could not detect that he has left his neighbor so I scaled collider down and now it all works.

Thank you hariavm for you answer
