Received and installed the Bul tool less guide rod.

I'll start with, I'm new to 1911s and have been searching before posting this. Bul included an unsupported (keyed) reverse plug that's grooved to capture the take-down bar. Problem is, it looks kinda wonky and leaves a gap between the rod and barrel. Any reason to not run the original reverse plug aside from the danger of the take-down bar not being completely captured? I know I just have to take extra care when the assembly it out of the slide to avoid it bumping something and launching itself into orbit or my TV, but anything else to be concerned with? Unless there's a dire reason to use the unsupported plug, I'm reusing the original. Also wondering why Bul didn't make the tool less reverse plug with the filler piece.
