Does not work with OEM Glock Magazines

I installed this in my Glock 43X MOS. The release looks great and works well with Shield Arms steel magazines. However, not only will actual Glock magazines not drop free, it takes a bit of effort to pull out them out. I placed the release on top of a new Glock factory magazine. The inside of the release is a bit narrower than the magazine. Without grinding away some metal, this will never work. I thought perhaps they put a Glock 43 magazine in the wrong package. But it's wider than a 43 release and the same width as a 43X.
