Break-in period? - HYVE Technologies Glock 43 Guide Rod

Great company doing great things for the firearm industry, but the tolerances on this guide rod are less than ideal. The end of the rod protrudes from the front of the slide. It also restricts the slide from full recoil and doesn't allow the slide release to engage. This happened with my G43, 48, PSA Micro, and LFA 43 with SCT lower. After a literal hour of manual slide manipulation with my LFA, the guide rod finally wore-in, or broke-in. The rod still protrudes from the front of the side, but now allows for full recoil of the slide and use of the slide release. Manual manipulation of the slide seems to have remedied itself on all my 43/43x/48 models. I never experienced this issue with any other competitor's guide rods.
