I have determined that the issue is the Magazine not being held in tightly enough. If I tip the gun vertical or upside down it will lock every time. Additionally of I put pressure on the bottom of the mag while the gun is right side up it will also engage.
Has anyone else come accross this issue? Should I just add a shim to the bolt catch? As a test I just wrapped some tape around the little piece that the mag presses up to engage the bolt catch and that helped. I have ready that people have super glued pieces of credit cards on their M4 bolt catch.... I assume I can do that same?
Any help is appreciated!

Yeah, your solutions are valid. On the other hand though (I'm assuming you're running the OB version), I've had no issues with the bolt not locking back after replacing the stock bolt with the Modify Steel Bolt Set, an upgrade that fixes a couple of other things as well, and improves the performance of your SCAR consirably. Just get it and be happy
