Yes, sounds like the trigger lever angle is too shallow.
Some times they are such a bad "fit" they will not fire the piece at all.

In my experience the lever is too brittle to bend, so the only choice is a new/different one;
BUT, there is no guarantee that any given lever will solve the problem.

This is one problem where I think you would be better off to send the luger to a good mechanic,
like "lugerdoc" to fix it- he will have several levers to choose from.
