I have a ton of steel mags you're welcome to try out, no idea on brand. Trade them 1:1 if you like them.

There is a ridge that can be sanded down to allow them to be drop free.
Really easy fix and takes the perpendicular edge of a razor knife and 2 minutes.
While the video is the AICS, the location is the same.

Think I'm gonna try this route....
I always giggle at these threads ( I'm left handed, "grip and rip" with my right thumb hitting the release is how I do AR mag changes )....
Now....to the problem...
It's a $10 mass produced piece of plastic....you will have some that are on either side of "in spec", it happens....as Stomper said, lightly sand down the high spots and run 'em.

It's the easiest. I had some cheap magazines by another brand and they were so tight I couldn't get them in the mag well.
Took off just enough there to make them snug but also drop free

Hmm, interesting.
I like them better than metal ones, easier to grab consistently from pouches & such.
Won't cut the mag pockets in my pants either, when I'm rolling that "I'm not an operator, operator look."

Do some research before you jump on those Center Industries magazines. It seems like they have all or most of the military contract, but have had problems in the past. Some say good and some say BAD. I am not trying to discourage anyone, but I did look at the internet posts and reviews and they make me want to stay away from them. As always, it is your choice to make.
