Clutch Low Engagement(yea, I know it's a DSM)

Alright. I'm stumped cause this is just dumb after a week's worth of BS and having absolutely every dsm problem go wrong in straight swapping a motor.

Clutch disengages on the floor. Yea yea, i know what you're thinking, adjust clutch pedal, bleed slave, blah blah. Well I've done all that. Thing is, nothing in the clutch setup changed, fluid was not even lost when we pull the slave cylinder off. We used the same exact pressure plate, flywheel, clutch disc. The ONLY thing we changed was the throw out bearing to a new ACT one. I am thinking for some reason the new TOB is slightly shorter causing this throw problem. Any other ideas? The clutch pedal use to be 3-4 inches off the floor, now it is about .5 inch off the floor with pedal adjustment all the way out.

Does anyone know the "true" proper way to bleed a clutch?
vaccuum line in brake fluid reservoir from slave cylinder to prevent air from being sucked back in,
clutch adjustment backed all the way in,
cap of master cyl off or on?
what else? I'm open to hearing everything anyone has to say to help out.
