[Elecraft] Bug mode on K3?

The fact that a keyer offers Iambic A/Iambic B has *nothing* to do
with the ability to support a single lever paddle.  I have used single
lever paddles with the Iambic keyers in Icom (IC-706mkIIg), Yaesu
(FT-1000D, FT-1000MP MKV, FT-2000) and Elecraft (K3) with no issues.
The iambic features of the keyer are not active unless both left and
right contacts are closed at the same time - which is a physical
impossibility with a single lever paddle.

I have no idea why you built a totally unnecessary keyer to use with
your paddle.
