Runaway Trigger Pin

The trigger pin on my Yugo AK suddenly won't stay in place. After reassembly, I looked at it along-side my Polish AK and all seems to be in its proper place.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

A retainer spring or a plate retains the axis pin(s).
There is a groove in the pin shaft that the the spring seats in or im the retainer plate.
There is a specific way the pin is installed to properly secure both the trigger and hamner axis pln.

I.picyure of the various wire retaoner installation.
The plate type retainer is a more simple install and removal.

From those images, I have the Century Style spring set-up, and the left arm of the spring appears to be down in the groove.
Is it possible to change just that spring to a different style?
