There is no standard angle to set the prod properly because it depends on the design and length of said prod. Read the following discussion thread to determine how to find the right angle for YOUR prod:
Prod mortice angle. Why? (forumotion.com)
"Lever trigger" do you mean for a roller nut action?
Alchem is the usual source. But I also see a new-to-me outfit called Modern Arbruster selling a Parts Pack, including, roller nut, lever, side plates, irons and pins:
