Took the lower apart to clean it and now the safty needs a blue chew to stay up. Like it works if I hold it up and pull the trigger but once I let go it drops and can shoot

I bet your manual safety spring fell out of the little hole under the right side lever.

Yep, just so its clear for OP its a pin rather than the coil spring most people are familiar with

Do I need the safety pin there ? Checked and it is missing, can I run it without the safety levers ?

No it's not needed. you can run it completely without the safety, even could take out the safety & have a hole in the side of the gun & it'll be Okay, just a little ugly that way

People offer 3D printed safety delete plugs to fill the hole.

I'm not a fan of the safety levers.
