i got a tactical latch from the gun show, was super exciting to install it, got home, punch out the pin, installed the new latch and put everything back together and now the latch will not disengage the catch in the upper.

how can i get it off without scratching everything up? and what do i modify to stop this from happening? file down the charging handle where the latch hits or file down the nub that catches the upper?

Is the latch itself just stuck? or is it catching something on your rifle?
