Don't bend the end of the gas key from withing the inside of the receiver, it will just cause more problems.
Start off my removing the hand guards, so you can get a good look at the gas tube through the delta or tube nut channel, to make sure that the tube/Barrel nut has been installed with it's tube passage aligned to the upper receiver gas block, to confirm that that gas tube is free floating through the two/not begin bound up against the two channels mis-indexed together.
Now if gas tube is free floating in the two channels aligned together, pull the bolt off the carrier and using just the carrier with key in the upper, check the alignment of the tube to carrier key. If the gas tube does need to be tweaked to align the end of tube to carrier key, then tweak the tube over the center of the barrel.
Again, do not try to tweak the end of the tube where it comes out into the upper receiver B/C void with a tuol back there, or loosen a gas block to try to rotate it on the barrel.
Simply, but trying to tweak just the end of the tube, may get the gas tube to initial entering the key correctly, but can end up with the tube kinked off axis where it goes through the barrel nut and upper channel, to have the gas tube binding in the channel as the bolt locks up instead. So by tweaking the tube over the barrel in the middle of the gas tube, keeps the end of the gas tube through the barrel nut/upper tube channel/out the back side straight/fully inline with the carrier key channel for it full travel over the tube.
