Spring plugs have a closed end (as on 1911's). If something runs through it, it supports it, and it acts as a shimming/fitment/friction device, then it is a bushing.

Any should work.

Nothing wrong on another side:

I would chalk it up to a lighting error.

Noted, as well as RacingManiac's comment. I may have got them mixed up with something else.

It would be less destructive to just use an enhanced recoil spring. It would also be way more effective.

These typically require some work. The mould they're using has degraded over the years. Many years ago, when they first came out, they fit perfectly right out of the box. Nowadays, the fit is tighter in some areas and it requires some additional fitment.
