When using a plastic alignment tool put a tiny amount of upward pressure (very small amount) before tightening pressure plate bolts. I finally bought a metal Tick alignment tool. I feel like it does a much better job. Or maybe you could use a scrap input shaft for alignment if you have one available.

So was it just the pressure on the slave cylinder spring keeping it from going in?
