I am just surprised at the intolerances between different magazines and magwells. 1mm can be a big difference....

Dont do this, I've ''repaired'' a lot of M4 types that had that exact same issue, you've been givien the answer already, it really is the mag catch in the magwell.
There are some cheap ambi ones for 15$ available.
The reason your mag is not sitting properly is simply because the mag catch does not go far enough into the small square hole on the top of the mag.
Buy a new one, problem will be solved.
If you dont want to buy one, ask someone you know who has a classic army he upgraded to an ambidextrous mag release and it will resolve your problem.
No more messing around with stupid shimming velcro on each mag. Not only does that look stupid but it does not work well when it gets used or worst, it unsticks.
Like stated before you have been given the answer here :

Get a new mag catch. It's a common issue with G&P M4s.

I will add that it's also a common problem with some G&G M4/M16 types.
