The method of repair for yhe guard that you mentioned is the way to go. Really yhe inly way short of leaving it.
The top lever is likely just bent. They are kind of thin in the middle. Maybe the gun was dropped when it was open at one time.
Shoe glue would be finenfor the pad.

Ya, I noticed that right away... And debating about what if anything I am going to do about it.
The guns feels like maybe a previous owner had big hands, big fingers maybe? Not sure why else you would adjust the trigger guard in such a way.
Ok, that makes sense on bent lever, honestly it sort of works fine the way it is, much like a fish tail lever... I am not going to worry about that.
Is that shoe glue, like a hot glue, or is there something out there that's just in a tube?
I have some timberluxe.... I have thought of stripping and refinishing the wood with that, I believe stock removal isn't too hard on an NID. Just remove the Trigger guard, the tang screws, and two trigger plate screws making sure not to lose the spring.... It's shiny like a new penny with that varnish....
