OK folks, I finally have some pics that might prove helpful. I may have to do multiple emails though so it passes through the filters in a timely fashion. Here's the first showing direct manipulation of the wippen. Note where the drop screw contacts the leather. The jack tip is contacting the hammer flange in between the hammer shank ears. More to follow.

The jack/hammerflange contact is not unheard of. Your problem is more likely in the rails than the parts. If the hammerflange rail is just slightly rotated, there is interference. The pin to pin distance may be correct, but the flange will be out of place. Ususally when this happens, the drop screws are turned all the way up. If no new parts are available, you can often stop the problem by removing the proximal half of the jack, near the top.
