Welcome Aboard OM!
Looking at it, I would suggest that you remove some of the spring turns from the bottom of the mag. A lot of the mags you run across have too much lift force and can cause issues. Of curse, that's not the only possible cause, but that's where I begin when I see them like yours. A good rule of thumb is to remove enough turns so that when its back together, it has just enough positive upward force left to hold the last round up firm for pickup. Many folks have to tweak the feed lips a little as well so that the rounds ride just a little high in the front, with a full mag fill. If they ride too high in the front, they can jump out to easily and stovepipe. Too little and they don't rise enough as they're being stripped and bump awkwardly into the feed ramp.
There are "How-To" instructions around here and I believe on YouTube, for tweaking the lips.
Good Luck,
Hoot
