Picture 4 shows it best but the ejector is pressing against where the firing pin is held. Making the slide stuck I can’t lift the slide up to disassemble or field strip. Any way to move the ejector clear?

The ejector is also referred to as slide stop. I got the ejector from translating the manual

To remove the slide, you must first pull the trigger guard down in the front and lock it open by pushing a little to either side. This will then allow you to pull the slide back far enough to lift and remove it.

I place a thin piece of wood between the frame and the trigger guard to keep the trigger guard locked open for disassembly.

I have pulled the trigger guard out of lock position the slide is being held by the stop. If you look at the photos I believe the slide stop has been knocked out of place

Okay, now I see what you are talking about. It looks like the slide stop lever has somehow become wedged into the bolt face. This may keep the slide from going forward, but will not keep it from moving backward.
