KJW KP-05 CO2 Malfunction

After swapping valves on two of my CO2 mags with replacements sent by KJW, I have a problem.

The replacement valves' seals are of a new design, according to KJW, resulting in much stronger blow-back action. When the slide hits back, it causes the mag to fall out, about 7 times out of 10.

I haven't had a chance to strip the frame yet to get to the trigger group & see if anything has been damaged, but I did notice that thumb safety is no longer working, the left-hand safety is just moving freely while the right-hand one is stuck in firing position.

My expertise with 1911s is limited to say the least, so any technical suggestions would be appreciated - and I do mean technical, please don't tell me that green gas is the way to go.

TIA.
