Dragging Bolt....need some ideas.

Installed a Timney in a CZ 452 last weekend and the bolt feels like it's dragging or sticking while cycling. I removed wood from my stock per Timney's instructions, and torqued the action screws to 30 in-lbs (please let me know if that should be different). The bolt cycles and everything seems to function well, it's just sticky. I lightly oiled the surfaces, with not much change, so hoping for some other thoughts from this group.

The portion of the trigger that keeps the bolt in the rifle appears to stick up a little more than the factory version, but it also seems to drop out of the way properly when you press the trigger.....is it possible this part and the bottom surface of the bolt just need time to mate properly?

Thanks!
