Not sure if this belongs here or in the general discussion. Not a problem per say, just a standards question...
I'm very new to the AK side. I've had a PSA AK 103 for a bit and I'm starting to customize it to my liking. I've recently bought a ribbed top cover and standard safety lever (both PSA) but there seems to be a much bigger gap between the ribbed cover and both safeties, but particularly the (new) standard. I really just wanted to ask if these look okay, or if this might be a RMA situation:
Forgive the differing orientations, please

The factory parts fit as I would have expected with almost no gap or play, the new parts all have pretty noticeable gaps and a lot more slop. Like I said, I'm basically brand new but this looked like something I ought to ask about...
