Default Clutch Fork Slop?

Howdy, trying to finalize my 5 speed installation and I am running into some issues. My original setup was wrong and worse so I have nothing to compare it to was just hoping someone could tell me this is normal or some way to fix it. In the video all of that movement is done with my hand on the z bar with no resistance, the first inch or so of pedal movement if you were sitting in the car. I moved the clutch return spring to be more parallel and it helped with some of the slop. Wouldn't think of this being an issue but the TOB requires an air gap so it doesn't ride on the pressure plate + this slop moves the clutch engagement further down on my pedal. Brand new clutch fork, McLeod TOB, on a TKX bearing retainer. Only thing not original is the bell housing, pivot ball, and linkage. Thanks.

Clutch fork: 9787069
TOB: McLeod 16505

Currently dropping the transmission because I noticed my new flywheel bolts are too long and pressing against the crank so I am starting from scratch anyways...
