Hardware Wiimote+Motion Plus + Nunchuck = estatic cursor

[Painguy]

So i wanted to play some redsteel 2 today. I plugged in my M+ & my nunchuk into the wiimote & the cursor started going crazy. I unplugged the nunchuck & it was back to normal (motion plus still in). I tried a different wiimote & nunchuck & the same problem persisted. I tried to boot to the game anyway & then plugged the hardware in. The game would stop & tell me that i did not have a nunchuck plugged in. So...is my M+ rear connection broken?
