I had the exact same issue. They need to make them from stronger metal. They better send you a replacement lever for free, ASAP. Mine came quick, and was free.
I actually see stress cracks also in yours as well. Mine had the same.

Hammer follow is prevented even in real MGs not by active measures but by mechanism timing. Literally the rate of angular acceleration of the hammer vs the rate of linear travel of the BCG and bolt into battery.

Backfilling update on my Atrius Super Selektor
Original lever that came in I am pretty sure I broke trying to get it to work with an 80% clone lower that I finished to 100% myself, and that very well might have been out of spec. I recall at one point during manual by hand cycling trying to force the selektor over to super forced mode, and using quite a bit of force to get it to rotate. I think that I originally bent it out of spec when doing that, or perhaps when just trying to get it to work in the 80% lower, because after that I struggled to get it to function reliably in a few different upper/lower/trigger setups, oh and I also at one point am pretty sure I was using it with an A5 length buffer tube, but a standard carbine buffer tube length buffer, which absolutely could have caused additional damage. What is curious is even with this initial damage/bend out of spec, the lever worked decently well in ONE setup with ONE combination of parts, but not in others. But then after more use it just bent more until it wasn't working at all in ANY of my setups/combos
Anyway, TL;DR is that the first lever that I got, pictures related, was probably broken by my own use of out of spec parts.
I think they should make them out of tool steel and or refine the geometry/design such that the tolerances with various other components in the operating system are better matched for the wear/strength of the lever.
The replacement lever I got when used with what I guess is the "correct" combination on in spec parts, has functioned well so far with no sign of bending. 350 rounds flawless, but obviously need 100x that to actually determine the true longevity of the design and parts.
