No damage to the lever, it's just the built-in ferrule is too small for the outer plastic coating of the casing so at first it rests on the plastic coating until it is strained and then it pushes back the plastic until the metal casing gets to the end of the ferrule and then it stops. I guess the thing to do is cut away the plastic and make sure it fully seats.
