Is that an ACT PP? Extreme I guess? I have an ACT HDsitting right here, and it looks quite a bit thinner than that one. Maybe the extreme has a thicker PP body since it has a higher clamp force. Still wouldnt explain why yours isnt working like it should. Did you get a possotive click from the spring clip on the fork when it seated on the ball? I had one do something similar once and it was being held off its seat by 1/2'' or so, but it snapped in place when I first started it and pumped the clutch.
If that picture of the PP to flywheel is how it is in the car, then something is wrong. Im hoping you just took those to show inside better... or something.
Im gonna say backwards disk. Looking at mine, when its backwards it hold it off about that much, and looks similar through the hole. If its not backwards, something is hold ing it off. Tightening the PP so that it sits on the flywheel will cause the teeth on the clutch PP to stick out less, and allow the fork to move back a good bit. I say thats your problem.

Well i got those pictures of the clutch taken out and I looked over the transmission and the fork wasn't pushed all the way on the pivot point But what about the gap between the pp and flywheel? I took pictures and measured everything The flywheel was just shy of 8" along with the pp and disk and the disk has a sticker saying which is the flywheel side

You likely didn't draw the PP up flush against the flywheel. You should put all the bolts in HAND TIGHT. Then use a criss-cross pattern and draw them in 1/2 of a turn at a time. IE- run the in by hand, then get a ratchet and socket and turn a bolt exactly 1/2 of a turn, then go to the opposite bolt, farthest away from the one you just tightened, and turn it exactly 1/2 of a turn. Then pick another bolt and repeat. Once you've done 6, repeat. Do it 42 times and it should pull up flush. Then torque the bolts all to 10 ft*lbs, again, using the same criss-cross pattern. Then 20 ft*lbs, etc in 10 ft*lb increments till you reach your target torque.
Hopefully a 1.6' er here will go measure they're clutch and make sure yours is the right size.
And I retract what I said earlier. TOB looks fine.
