Help needed with Lakewood Scattershield

72 Duster, smallblock, A833, Hays Street/Strip clutch.
So I had a factory aluminum bell on and swapped in the Lakewood bell. Before the swap clutch worked perfectly. Now I’m not getting enough departure to get it into gear. Reused same factory fork and the pivot that came with the Lakewood bell. I verified that the fork is tucked into the throwout bearing spring clips and the fork is clipped into the pivot. The bearing is set to approximately 1/4” away from the clutch fingers at rest.
Is there something I missed when installing the Scattershield?
The block plate is in place also.
