Compared to a Hi Power or a 1911 there is a LOT of clearance between the hammer and the tang.
Check to be sure the magazine spring is facing the right way. There is a small loop bent in one end of the spring. It should be in the magazine follower, and facing forward. If the spring is installed backward (loop side down) you will only be able to get 7 rounds in it. That's a common problem with a number of magazine designs where the spring is not symmetric.
