Even if you use known quality components, it can sometimes be difficult to get these odd caliber rifles to feed, eject and cycle reliably. You can ask my 6.5 Grendel if you don't believe me.
What you've built, as you are finding out, is unlikely to run properly
EVER. You've literally picked the academy award winners of what components to avoid when building a rifle you expect to run properly.
UTG gas block, seriously? You can get a reputable gas block for less than $30. Take it off, trash it and replace it with something of known quality.
Anderson BCG? Take it off and trash it for a reputable BCG like SIONICS - Colt - etc......
You're already drilling the gas port too large, so I'd trash the barrel as well and buy a midlength gassed barrel with the correct size gas port for the cartridge.
Why you jumped right into gas port drilling and spring cutting is beyond puzzling. Its likely you have and still have a gas problem either from poorly aligned gas system or crap components.
ETA: After you get your components replaced, buy yourself big bore followers for the mags you plan to use and label them 350 Legend. No, regular AR15 followers are unlikely to ever feed reliably.
