It would be a lot easier to find any issues with this hairspring if you post a picture of it taken looking down on it from directly above, like this drawing :

The two dots in the drawing represent the regulator pins, and they are located either side of the terminal curve. 

If the spacing of the coils in the flat section of your hairspring is even, then I suggest you install the spring on the balance cock, without the balance wheel, and check that the collet is centred over the jewel hole. 

Once the collet is centred over the jewel hole, you need to check that the regulator pins travel freely over the terminal curve of the hairspring without disturbing it. 

You can then replace the hairspring onto the balance staff, and fit it to the watch to check the vertical clearances, including checking that the overcoil doesn’t rub on the main body of the hairspring or the balance cock.

I hope that helps,

Mark
