Sparkfun Antenna for GNSS

We are using the GNSS to collect data for a tracking device that is going to be put on a reptile in the wild. While running tests with the GNSS, the antenna ( can be seen here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/177 ) is working sometimes and sometimes it fails to even connect which stops the GNSS from collecting data. We have used the other antenna ( can be seen here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14986 ) and it works fine, allowing the GNSS to collect data indicated by the LED that beeps blue light every couple seconds on the module. Any help would be great, thanks!
