When you rebuild a 1911 from scratch you are bound to have some things not line up. To correct this, you must blend the part together with a file. Even though it sounds daunting, filing a 1911 doesn't have to be hard. It just takes some patience. I hope you enjoy the video and for your convenience time stamps are below.
