Sear spring issue

I think I might have broken the end of my sear spring by installing it wrong. The end feels very rough. It is hard to see but doesn’t look right. Also I was getting hammer follow accompanied by the trigger not resetting. I just installed a red dirt trigger. What can/should I get as a replacement?

Edit/ add: I removed the overtravel screws completely. It has some pre travel but that’s how I like it.

Everything moves freely. Even with everything installed and back together. What I think might’ve happened and is likely, is that I installed the Sear Spring incorrectly and it clipped off part of the left most finger. I noticed that it has a bit of an edge to it. And that when I disassembled my gun after having issues, I found two small pebble, almost like looking things inside the frame by my shoe area. I should have checked if they were magnetic but I wansnt thinking. This along with the tip of the finger having an edge to it I feel as though it’s the sear spring.

My first time taking my pistol completely apart it took me a f*ckin hour and alot of cussing to get my new short pull and light spring in. I've never fooled with this style of sear so I was completely at a loss. I figured it out though! Still prefer my tricked out shadow 2 though.

Mainly the grip layout, its just that slight difference that feels off to me, and going to a single action vs the CZ double. And also spending $1800 on a pistol and the finish wears off in less than 500rds was sort of disappointing. Small things there but still, I've got a 30 year old Taurus that still looks good.

And I've got more than $2k in parts in my shadow, technically the SC2. Full Cajun trigger, threaded barrel, custom works all around, didn't spare any expense on that build, its my favorite. Check out my page I've posted it a few times on the CZ sub.

man i feel you on the slide....i wind up sending my slide and barrel off to jagerwerks for black nitride (bc I was not about to send it back to Dan Wesson/CZ) and it came back f* amazing! I doubt it will ever show any signs of wear now and at $75 for both it was worth it.
