That arm of the spring fits under the long pin (the pointed on in the original); its bearing on the pin is what pushes the sear bar up to engage the sear. If your replacement doesn't have the point or the groove around that pin, I suggest you use a file to make it look like the original and things will work better.

As to the reason the bar doesn't go in all the way in the back, I don't know, but you might try manipulating the hammer to see if that helps. It sounds like what you have is a repro part, not uncommon with Gun Parts when there is a demand and no supply. Most of their repro parts will work or can be made to work, but sometimes they are just plain wrong and can't be made to fit.
