If the orientation of the op rod bend is vertical, i.e., piston end is higher than op handle end, the bend is correct. Some wear of the forward portion of the piston rod is to be expected from back and forth movement in the gas tube. A photo might help.
The op rod spring "HEAVIER THAN STD"? Is it longer or thicker? Or both? Copey may be right in that you have the wrong spring installed. The piston tube may be clogged. How old is the ammo you've been firing?
