New Clutch.....Problems

Not saying this is what happened but it may be possible one or more of the fingers have bent/twisted from your initial adjustment (from your findings in post 25) and has lost some adjustment window.
Relating the pressure plate to a three legged stool. If one leg is shorter than the other two, the seat top will not be parallel to a level floor.
If one finger is lower than the other two on the plate it will tend to release later causing out of parallel and you loose adjustment. Another possibility could be a varying disc thickness, a bent disc, or it's just too thick for where the factory has set the finger height.
I'd remove the adjust rod. Visually make sure the release bearing clips are properly engaged (top is hard to see) and the fork is all the way on the pivot.
By hand push the fork rearward lightly and try to determine if the release bearing is contacting all three plate fingers almost simultaneously.
