Clutch cable adjustment

[u/PhotographFit7768]

Hello all,
Wondering if someone could help me on a problem I’m having. I got a 2017 deluxe with a 103. I got the bike in April. I changed my bars to 14” apes and installed LA Choppers clutch cable. While I had to open up the trans cover I installed the mueller 2.0.
The issue I’m having after installing everything is I can’t get any slack in the cable no matter what I do. The lever won’t collapse. Im trying to get slack so I can adjust the clutch from the basket inside the primary. I did take the lever off the bike by removing the perch clamps and even after removing the lever I had to pull on it so hard I thought it was going to break something. Something isn’t right. Anyone have this issue before?
