2240 help

I recently purchased the 2240 Crosman pistol also I purchased the steel breech to go with it . I shot it before I did any work to it and it seem to function fine with the plastic breach. After I installed the steel breach I had great difficulty feeding a pellet into the chamber

it seem to not want to make it past the transfer port. After examination with a flashlight I could see the transfer port appeared to be sticking up Fairley High and there was quite a bit of space behind it towards the bolt. It is next to impossible to seat a pellet into the barrel the way that it is right now. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated
 
The tall part of tp should be up as shown in picture. Use a small c-clamp during assembly. It make dealing with small hex screw easier.
