Okay, so it's binding. Here's a couple things you can try:

Take out the follower, then take some fine sandpaper (220 grit works best) and lightly sand all the edges of the follower that make contact with the inside walls of the clip. You don't want to actually remove much material, just soften the edges so they're smooth and don't have any sharp corners. Sometimes there's a little extra flashing left on the pieces from the molding process. You can remove that with a utility knife or X-Acto.

Check the inside walls of the clip to make sure they're smooth. Remove any bits of plastic that are in the path of the follower. If you have access to wax furniture polish, you can apply a thin layer all around the inside of the clip. Wait ten minutes, then wipe it off with a rag and polish until it's shiny. You can do this multiple times to make it super slick. You can also do this to the follower.
