The SIM Tray can be removed from the outside of the iPhone. Take a small thin pin or small thin needle and bend the very tip into a small hook or L shape, with tweezers or small pliers, anything to bend just the tip less than a mm. Put the needle into the small SIM Tray hole a mm or two, and wriggle it to catch, and then just pull the SIM Tray straight out.

Don't do this. Just take a straight pin or straightened paperclip and push it in the hole next to the sim tray. There's an eject button inside that hole. When you push on paperclip the tray slides out. Never use a hook you'll just cause issues if not done right.

i know to stick something is but thats the problem it wont pop out it feels like something is blocking it from coming out

It takes a bit of pressure. Mine kinda "sticks" aswell but if you have to resort to a hook then do it.

Good choice with going to cowboy, great guy. To say the least, if you were swapping out the middle plate then you most likely forgot to include the rocker module that attaches to the physical frame of the iPhone 4. The only other thing i can imagine is that you did not set in the motherboard correcty and then forced the simtray inside causing it to jam.

Either way, no need to second guess now. Let cowboy do his magic and im sure you will have your iPhone back in no time.
