Manual clutch slipping after clutch upgrade (stock dmf)

I recently upgraded my clutch with a RSR style kit that retains existing DMF, after install it's slipping in 1st gear and feels like proper engagement isn't happening.

Dmf and thrust bearing werent replaced as only 20k miles and looked fine upon inspection.

Any tips before I pull it out again would be nice.

RSR style...do you have part numbers?

It's slipping in first gear and is undriveable not sure how to break that in. Engagement point feels really high.

The Ringer kit is built by Clutch Masters, they don't use a LuK clutch.

Are you sure you bought the right kit for the stock flywheel?

Only thing I can think of that doesn't involve taking it back apart is to try bleeding the clutch again.

Beyond that, call Ringer to see what they have to say about it if you haven't already.
