Question T-5 with hydraulic clutch

I just finished coverting my Cobra from a C-4 auto to a T-5 5speed. I used the correct weight flywheel (28 oz.) for my 1968 302 engine as well as a "Rhino" brand diaphram clutch assembly and Mustang t-5 thow-out bearing. After installing everything, the throw-out bearing is resting on the clutch fingers with the clutch fork ressting on the end of the bellhousing opening. I have the CNC slave cylinder pushing as far as will travel and it seems that I still don't have enough travel to completely engage the clutch completely. I am afraid that if I adjust the rod from the slave cylinder, it will preload the throw-out bearing and wear it out quickly.

Any suggestions??
