G17 / G34 troubleshooting question

Hello. I’m new here, and somewhat new to this scene. I have a fully working G19 FMDA build, so I wanted to build a G17 / 34. I have the frame and lower parts assembled, but for whatever reason, this slide (ROCK SLIDES G34 GEN 3) will NOT slide into the frame. Even if I lower the slide release pull tab when trying to get it on, it will not pass and will not load onto the frame. On two occasions, I got it onto the frame by priming the trigger before hand (no idea why this mattered or helped) and then I could not get the slide back off; even with the slide release tab being pulled down. I had to disassemble the whole lower to get the slide off the rails. When it was on the rails fully one time without priming the trigger, when I cocked it back, it did not prime the trigger and there was no action. The only thing I can think of is the slide being the problem, but I don’t know why. Does anybody have any insight at all?
Frames are sirayatech PPA-CF CORE and are immaculate.
