Tuning Taipan trigger help

Having issues with my trigger. It wont retract fully after release, and the safety wont engage. If i manually push it forward, the safety will work. 
if i loosen the rod holding screw (circled in red) it moves freely. But as soon as i tighten it, the trigger gets stuck about 1/8th” back. I usually have it seated all the way in before tightening, and have tried various positions.
