Default Clutch issues

Hello people need some advice,,
Just fitted a new 6point paddle clutch to my s2 zvh also replaced crank rear main oil seal but clutch still slips . Now I haven't done the clutch pedal conversion to mk5/6 yet but could it just be a faulty clutch or do I need to do pedal conversion cause the last time I fitted a paddle it was fine ...

Ratchet stuck? As if its not adjusted itself then it will still act as if its engaged

The ratchet did adjust after refitting cable and the biteing point is about in the middle .. the clutch slipped on the old one exactly the same as now which makes me think its not the clutch also there is free movement at release arm at gbox ..
I reckon im gonna end up taking apart again lol

It didn't look too bad there werent any heat marks or cracks in it but in my experience I have never had a flywheel fault .. I just wanna take it apart and find a problen but think im gonna end up getting a different clutch. .

It might be the only way otherwise your just guessing, what was the reason you changed the rear main seal?
