Galil ACE Gen 1 13in Pistol Safety Issues

I just picked this thing up from my FFL and immediately noticed something was up after taking it out of the box. When I went to remove the chamber flag the bolt felt incredibly stiff. After cranking on it I managed to get it back all the way and the gun went into battery. I attempted to manipulate the safety but it had absolutely no feedback, it was all squish. With the selector on S, I pulled the trigger and the hammer fell...

I attempted this a few times and regardless of what position the safety is in, the hammer will fall if the trigger is pulled...

At this point I took the dust cover off and removed the bolt, upon initial inspection the safety appears to be askew and not properly in-place. It looks like the left side of the safety is riding super high and not resting in the circular hole on the receiver. I went to reassemble and it appears the safety is protruding so far that I can't actually get the bolt back into the receiver.

Has anyone else run into this? Created a support ticket with IWI but if anyone has any suggestions to get this thing operational I'd appreciate it.
