Replacement Holdopen fits well, but toggle not staying retracted with mag

Well,
you could just interchange the toggles and see how the other bolt works.

If it were mine, I'd use a needle file and square up the shoulder of the "bad" bolt, and maybe move it back just a tad; looks a little deformed to me.

I would not bend the spring until and in a last resort, they will snap at the "right angle bend". I might try thinning it a little on some very fine paper if it is too strong.

but I think your problem is the bolt.
