You may need to replace the hammer with a 9mm cut one. That doesnt look like a ramped bolt.

Bolts from PSA 9mm uppers .

the fm9 bolt is ramped. But I agree I’ll change out the hammer, and polish up the nicks….heres a pic from online of a fm9 bolt ramp.

The trigger hammer that came with PSA PX9mm Glock style lower.

and yours using that hammer has given you no issues? i have a similar hammer. the one in the lower now is not like that, I will swap it out and see what happens.

i use the gen4 psa bcg so at first i had no comment, but on the exomag build which is just a standard ar15 lower i coincidentally dropped in an ar9 trigger as well from a stock glock lower either from psa or bca.. also thinking about it have used the stock trigger that comes with bca lowers with no problem as well..

but when i swap them out i specifically recommend the cmc 9mm trigger, very crisp

i’ve never seen the hammer beat up a PSA bolt in my ar9’s. my ar9’s though use the toolcraft manufactured ramped bolts that psa sells and the psa hammer / fcg kit that comes in the ar 9 build kit. i think you may be on the right track swapping it all out to the correct hammer like what coolwin has ..
