Default LT1 Clutch install problems

So I am doin a M6 swap in my 94 Z28 and have ran into a kink... I think that when I installed the clutch I didnt have my throwout bearing turned correctly and now the fork doesnt seat all the way onto it... So when I put in the slave the fork pops off.... I managed to get it to stay once in hopes that when I turned the car over it would fix itself... but it just pops back off when you depress the clutch... I think the bearing not being angled right is what is causing my problem... anybody have any insight on this topic... I just really want to know if there is a way I can fix this without taking the tranny back out... (hard to find help)

here are some pics of the fork knocked out then when I have it locked onto the bearing... even though its barely on there...

something is not right, either your fork is bent, or your pressure plate is torqued down crooked.......
