The stock stuff is not adjustable. There is a how to on making the stock master adjustable, but I wouldn't bother with that.

Try and bleed the heck out of the hydraulics and see if that resolves your issue. Next step would be a tick adjustable master.

What clutch and flywheel did you go with? Was the flywheel new or resurfaced? How much? Did you install new hydraulics when you replaced the clutch? If the hydraulics are in good condition and well bleed sounds like you need a shim behind the slave cylinder.
