The ejector rod will not return to its starting position after being pushed, I’ve already used gun oil. If anyone can give me any information on this it’d be much appreciated, thanks

Possibly some sort of debris in the bore of the ejector rod.

I wonder what would happen if you pushed back in with your thumb or finger? Maybe it would free up the ejector or will not go back in at all?? I know you have to have the tools to properly remove the ejector. If it's under warranty, I would send it back to Colt.
I'd suggest operating the ejector rod back and forth and gently attempt to push it forward to clear any possible fouling obstruction.

If that fails, DO NOT attempt any home repair or take to a local general gunsmith........ return it to Colt for a factory repair.
If the rod is stuck, it's probably not something that can be repaired locally, and that would void the warranty.
Let Colt correct it on their dime.
