Assemble your pistol without the slide stop in place. See if the slide stop pin will go in when the slide is in battery without pounding or use of force. This is a critical fit and a drop in sometimes needs a bit of attention.
Sounds as though you just need a small amount of stoning on the bottom lugs to let it slip into battery.
