clutch/tko issues

so i installed a tko 600/ lakewood bellhousing on my car, i've been driving it around and it's been working great, i know my slave cylinder has a small leak, so the other day i went to back into a parking spot and reverse grinded like hell and it was hard to get in 1st, i found very low fluid in the resevoir, so i filled it up and changed the slave cylinder out and bleed it, now i'm having the exact same symptoms, start car put in another gear throw it into reverse and it grinds, 1st gear is hard also, the car does not move in gear with the clutch disengaged, question is, the throwout bearing with the car off should the bearing be right on the pressure plate? or off of it?

It should be off it, barely. Otherwise it would always be spinning.
