after a while i find out if hold the 10 round mag to cycle the bolt it fix the problem perfectly that means change the mag position(up) a little bit or change the angle a little bit will change the ammo's position or angle which is the cure

so I made a sleeve for the teen round mag and use a piece of patch glued in front part, it will adjust the angle of the mag once the mage installed

now no matter hold the mag or hold the rifle to cycle the bolt, no issue chambering the ammo anymore

also it's more comfortable to hold the mag when doing off-hand shooting
the original mag is steel 10 round one, it's too small and too sharp to hold to do off hand shooting
