AK74M Selector Switch Issue

I've decided to explain my issue with pictures to make it clear. I'm using a Version 3 KA Reinforced Mechbox Shell for this.

First picture: All three pieces (labeled 1, 2, 3) are lined up properly, and safety works, will not fire.



Second Picture: selector switch transitions smoothly to semi, no problem, weapon fires on semi.



Third Picture: Suddenly... WTF? Things won't line up properly. The teeth of parts 1 and 2 line up just fine, but will not seat with the nub on part 3.



Fourth Picture: Try and fix it the other way... part 2 and 3 line up, and then suddenly the teeth will not! The red squared portion shows where the squared "tooth" on part 1 refuse to integrate with the teeth on part 2.



I am aware of the slightly damaged teeth on part 2. The issue isn't that the teeth won't grip each other... its that part 2 will not seat properly when the slide is in the fully auto position.

I feel like there is something obvious I'm missing here... the gun fired on full auto fine last time it was gamed. I dont do my own mechbox internals work, so my overall knowledge is only basic.

Anyone see an obvious error?... and please... be gentle.
