I seriously don't understand what you're saying.
I don't know how to add text to photos, but my little sketch should work.
The little arrow is pointing at the tip of the underside of the Fore end lug. If the tumbler, in the FE latch is engaging the lug, but not fully closing, using a diamond file, start at the tip, and keep the angle (dash line) as close as possible. I have a 3M product emery paper with an adhesive back which i put on the edge of a ground flat stock bar. Don't use a bastard file, or you will quickly have a loose fore end.
