"IF" all stock components were used, it must be air in the system that is not allowing the clutch fork to fully travel.

Back the car up on ramps, or get it on an incline with the front down and pump the pedal 50-60 times.

I would still say that bleeding it is the issue, hopefully the braided line is feeding into the slave from the top, if it is, then just get the car on an incline and pump the blazes out of the pedal. You can have someone watch the reservoir for bubbles to come up

Hopefully the fork is not bent or the ball stud is not working its way out. If the ball stud is un-threading itself, then you will have to pull the tranny to reach the cap on the ball stud.
