Refine the mesh and assign point mass/inertia to the rigid body. If this doesn’t help, try using contact pairs.
 
Thanks for your reply,

You mean, Should I refine mesh for rigid body or plate?
 
Especially for the rigid body, it has very coarse mesh here.

And since those are shells, make sure that you position your parts according to their thicknesses since contact algorithm in Abaqus accounts for that automatically.
