Okay, so if you "assist" the bottom of the disconnect lever to go up in to place with... let's say a pen or a punch or something that allows you gently push it upwards... does it do anything? Or is the sear totally blocking it?

The right prong is SUPPOSE to lay on top of the disconnector. Its purpose is to apply pressure on the ramp, which will push it upwards in to place. Sometimes, the prong is too weak (if you inadvertently bent it, or if you upgraded to a light weight version) to push the disconnector behind the sear. If this is the case, you'll need to bend the prong to add more pressure. One way to prove whether this is the solution, is by attempting my suggestion of "assisting" the disconnector upwards. If it pops in to place with a bit of assistance, than increasing the right prong pressure will alleviate the symptom.

Technically, the hammer doesn't touch the disconnector. In fact, the hammer has NO direct contact with the disconnector whatsoever. Rather, what you're seeing could be an intermediary issue with the sear, which could indicate no problem with the disconnector at all. Try viewing the action without the safety levers installed either. You'd have to really know how the mechanical action is suppose to work to see how this is playing out. It's very difficult to e-diagnose like this, because I'm just going by what you're seeing, and if I'm relying on what you're seeing (or not seeing, or not knowing what to look for), then my diagnoses are only as limited as the information you're giving me and I'm basically shooting in the dark here.

If you could take a well lit and in focus video of the action, I could see what's going on. Sadly, 90% of the pictures and videos that send to me are so blurry and poorly lit, I still can't help people anyways.
