It's not unusual for the levers to be difficult to push down during reassembly. It gets easier with practice. The mag release probably just needs to be lubed "lightly". It may also need a couple of strokes with a file to loosen up it's grip on the mag. Take it to someone that is familiar with the 3rd Generation S&W pistols to have them look it over. If you happen to be in Massachusetts I can look at it for you.
