Try configuring the sfm statement with the "always" option for the working
SFM at the [edit chassis redundancy] hierarchy level: 

 

[edit chassis redundancy]

 

sfm slot-number (always | preferred);

 

slot-number can be 0 or 1. 

 

always defines the SFM as the sole device. 

 

I'm thinking that should define the working SFM as the only available SFM to
the chassis.  Good luck,
