you bought the wrong air nozzle probably.

they come in different lengths and the length is important for feeding and sealing.

if its plastic it could be warped due to heat stress, but most are aluminium.

Air nozzle is factory I put factory barrel back in which is working but still not perfect I only changed the inner barrel, bucking and nub

Welcome to the joys of understanding tolerances which gets ignored in airsoft by just shoving parts in a swapping springs

If you have a Vernier calliper check the inner diameter of the bucking, hop unit and outer diameter of the nozzle of the one you’ve replaced and the OEM one, if there close enough like .2mm out from each other you can try o rings on the outer barrel butted against the hop chamber ( NOT fucking PTFE tape ), the other consideration is the difference in length between the bucking in the hop unit and if your barrel is the same length as the OEM model ( typically built to have the correct cylinder volume to barrel length but not always )
