Nambu type 14 issues, need advice

I installed the locking block but the magazine is still having an issue.
When it's fully seated it looks good but any slight pull on the mag base there is a click and the mag slides down about 1/8 inch leaving a noticeable gap between the frame at the bottom of the mag well and the base of the mag.
When the mag is fully seated with the mag catch engaged, if you pull on the base of the mag it will pull free, I would assume that the mag catch shouldn't function that way but correct me if I'm wrong.

The mag safety is suspect to me as well. I notice that when the mag is fully seated the trigger moves freely but when the mag is removed, the trigger catches for a moment then proceeds backward raising the seer bar so it doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.

Both the mag safety and seer bar springs seem to be working but I haven't broken them down yet.

Could there be an issue with the mag safety that is keeping the mag from staying in place or is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks!
