Take the bar end off first and see if it works OK without it fitted. Could just be the new grips are fractionally longer and jamming between the weight and the throttle housing which would also explain why it's OK when you've taken the top off the housing as that would relieve the friction as well.
If it is that then stick a washer or two on the inside of the bar end to stop it clamping up too close to the throttle rubber.
