k98 bolt disassembly/assembly issue

Hello, I recently disassembled and reassembled the bolt on my new 1937 portuguese contract mauser for the first time after buying it(i suspect the bolt has not been disassembled for a very long time). I went as far as taking the safety piece out(i did not disassemble the part with the plunger and small spring), and then put it all back together. But now it is really hard to put the safety on (to vertical position). It was not that hard before i took it apart. Any ideas on what can be the reason or how to fix it?
