Is the metal annealed?
What lubricant are you using on the metal?
As @extropic noted, this is a complex shape, with little draft and the use of progressive dies makes sense. Progressive in this case may require multiple die-sets for the full draw. Alignment of the material in subsequent sets is a function of the design of the dies.
Not an expert, but have been exposed to a number of pressing operations in the course of my career.
