With the parts removed from the pistol, consider wrapping the takedown lever itself with very fine emery cloth (grit out) and using it to slowly and carefully shape / polish the curved end of the side plate tab. That way you retain the proper shape for the curve. Prussian blue as indicator pf metal removal and of proper contact...
