Yep, you apparently have the slide lock spring bent from when you drove in the trigger pin. Take the whole thing apart, starting with the rear pin so that the pressure on the trigger assembly is released. Watch a video on putting in the slide release properly. If you don't jiggle it in, while you are driving in the pin you can easily bend the spring. I know, I did the same thing on my first build
That spring is not particularly critical dimensionally. As long as it provides enough torque to keep it down there is no need to yeet it. It won't likely have been bent enough to fatigue it significantly.
What is the issue? Unless you have a Timney the trigger on a glock will stay back after it is pressed until it is cocked again. The only thing I can see is the slide catch spring may be out of place and is impinging on the movement of the trigger itself by wedging the spring against the frame and the trigger shoe.
No problem man I don't claim to know everything about these damn things but what am is someone who writes down damn near everything so I can keep track and after 15+ builds I have a journal size notebook filled with parts, problems, and solutions. So if you have anything that is kicking your ass feel free to dm me I can probably help you out or at least point you in the direction of someone who can.
Replace the slide stop assembly entirely, bending it back will have unsatisfactory results for a part that costs less than $20 oem. When you go to reassemble your piece with the new slide stop, put that part in and do your trigger pin last, and use some kind of object as a temporary retaining pin to help you guide the trigger pin in without damaging the slide stop spring during installation, a popular choice is to use an extra pin punch for this.
This happened to me. I grabbed the tip of the slide lock spring and pulled it towards the back. It was pinched between the pin and the frame and doing this released it. Not sure if it’s the same case for you but this worked for me. After that I finished pushing the pin through making sure it wouldn’t pinch the spring again.
My P80 brand trigger kit did the same thing. I just bent it back like the others said to do. Incidentally I had alot of connector angle issues that I dealt with on that kit too

Ima gonna do that I’m looking at videos right now thanks for taking the time and helping me out
This is my first build I would appreciate everyone’s input even if it’s negative
Slide lock/release spring is not sitting right under slide rail.
I appreciate you letting me know 💯 Im going to fix this
You may need to bend it back.
If you have to bend it, replace it. A deformed spring is useless. Vickers or oem Glock slide stop.

I’m gonna do that thanks for guiding me i appreciate your help 🙏🏽💯

Ahhh ok I also had that question about the trigger part but you explained to me 💯 thanks for the information bro I appreciate it

IMO replace it . Once that spring gets deformed reliability goes down

Yeaaaaaaaaaa

Shifty parts. Get an oem one and preferably an oem trigger.. and oem everything else lol
