i think, by sanding down the tip of the release lever, it allows the front of the magazine to sit lower in the magazine well. this may be why the rounds are pointing at the bottom of the feed ramp. you may need to get a new release lever. after you get a new release lever, put a very thin washer between the dip metal and the stock on the back action screw and see if this helps with getting the magazine in far enough for the new magazine release lever to latch the magazine in place. hopefully, with the front of the magazine just a wee bit higher in the mag well with the new release lever the rounds will be pointing at the feedramp and not below it. just my hypothesis based upon your description. there may be something else too that is compounding the issue, but without being there and examining the fit of everything it is very hard to say for sure.
