The first and third lock are doing great but my second section gets stuck on every leg. Even when I play with the adjustements, it still doesn't go smouthly at all. How do I fix that? It's an all new tripod...
Manfrotto have great warranties. If it is new, send it to Manfrotto to repair/replace the parts and make it whole again. If parts are worn it will be hard to tell you how to fix it without pictures, or know which model tripod you have.

take it apart, there is a rubber ring like a belt or rubber band, either broken or missing. you will have to find a relacement for that, may have to take apart another leg to have one to compare, course I don't honestly know where you will find that piece. too take it apart just keep spinning the lock counterclockwise until it comes off. good luck.

Yes you can. But I saw that your Manfrotto is possible to buy for 50 Euro.
Anyway the part you need is the full leg called CODE:
R785,203B
you can see the datasheet on the spare part site of Manfrotto:

There is a brass pin that hold the flip lever and the leg lock onto the leg. Rest the brocken leg on the edge of a work bench. You should gently tap out the brass pin and carefully remove the tension block inside the square hole where the flip lever fits into. Carefully, since the tension block is curved and if you put it back wrong with the curved part facing in toward the leg it will be too tight and break the leg lock again the first time you lock it.
