Default Clutch peddle

Guys need help with my clutch

My peddle sits 3-4 inches higher than the brake peddle what is meant to stop it being that high?

I have put a new clutch in a new cable on and even changed the ratchet which is at the end now and it slips in 4th and 5th

I don't know what it could be I haven't got a clue

Are you sure it's the right cable?

also double check the ratchet as there are 4 different types, they all look similar but it effects the cable travel
