Rose Gold clasp getting stuck on OysterFlex

I have a 126655, which is the rose gold Yachtmaster with the OysterFlex strap. It's about six years old. When you go to remove the watch, the very first mini clasp, the one with the Rolex symbol on it, gets stuck about 3/4 of the way of removing it. If I force it, sometimes it opens as it should. Other times it pops off and the inner pin holding it falls out.

It's made the watch almost unwearable, but it seems like such a minor repair and wouldn't be worth sending to the Rolex Service Center. Any advice? I'm sure I can find a watch repair place, but none in my area is Rolex certified. Would lubrication work? I would try a replacement pin but the pin appears to be rose gold. Please advise. Thank you.

Maybe the screw next to it is sticking out?

Turns out that was exactly the problem. It didn't appear so to my old eyes, but after a close inspection that was the problem. Thank you for your help.
