Well barrel porting or gas-block inserts, but being as a 11.5" mid is so unconventional I wouldn't know where to start with insert sizing and would think you might like the flexibility of an adjustable gas-block.
Interesting discovery taking it apart. It seems one of the parts is out of spec. Since you seem to have it handled mechanically I would have SLR send you a new leaf spring and detent. They will be happy to do so. Swap those in and if any issue like what you found with the included parts appears then you will know it is likely the gas-block housing that is out of spec and you will need a replacement gas-block.
