Bellhousing Experience Quicktime vs Lakewood

Happened across this thread doing a google search. I just installed a Lakewood scattershield and for some reason the clutch fork isnt in line with the pushrod. When the pushrod is attached to the z-bar and inserted into the fork, it is angled way down. Its like the fork needs to go down to level out the pushrod. Has anyone encountered this? I bought the scattershield used so I though maybe it had the wrong fork fork pivot so I looked on Brewers website and I am certain I have the correct one. Any thoughts?

This is on a 440 with a 18 spline tranny.
