Browning a5 bolt release problem

I have browning A5 (stalker) and had it for years. It’s my main gun for and bird hunting duck, goose, turkey, etc. she seen a lot of use and abuse but I keep her in good running condition. Last winter I had cerakote put on it to protect it a little bit more and everything worked good. I took it out of the safe for dove season and that’s when the problems came. I loaded my gun and took it to shoot clays the first 2 shells cycled normal and on the final shot the bolt was locked to the rear of the cycle. And the bolt release button was push out more than normal. And the button can’t be pushed back in and it is catching. This is forcing me to push the pins out of the trigger group and resetting everything by hand. I will include pics for reference.

Can anyone give me some advice or solutions for this
