Where did you get that takedown lever? It could be just the angle at which the photo was taken but it appears that the lever is too long and is bumping into the side plate before it can be fully rotated into place.

I believe you may be right, looks like contact at that angle to me too.

I have had this problem, one can reduce the front edge of the side plate if the interference is only a "smidge"(that's a tech term for not too much"?

Better solution is another side plate, or lever.

I go for another lever is that one is loose side to side, JMHO.
