The SMG FG42 In Detail

Sorry to hear this. This looks like a magazine angle to chamber throat issue. Some fixes may be working on the magazine's latch shelfs and/or polishing the feed ramp into the chamber. Also a dipping mag follower may be the culprit and it may need to be stoned down to revent friction against the mag walls or the spring modified so it more effectively presents the round at the magazine feed lips.

Could you again show a photo of magazine inserted, (perhaps with one round being presented to the chamber) and the chamber area? Best done on a stripped rifle for better viewing, so that we can see how they interact.
