And I didn't even open the clutch line so all the fluid is still the same as when it was before the clutch change...
I compared the old pressure plate to the new pressure plate, and the spring loaded levers seem to be less protruding on this new clutch pressure plate than on the old one, is this supposed to be like this?

Can you see how on the old pressure plate, the spring levers are more aggressively pointed outward and on the new they less aggressive? Can this be a bad pressure plate?

Is the fork positioned properly on the pivot? And not cracked?

No when you say no resistance... Do you mean it goes to the floor and doesnt come back up? Or its just really soft? Did you start the car and shift through the gears when u had it all together?

Just at the end of the pedal throw there's a very little bit of resistance, like the slave cyl piston is almost all the way out before resistance happens. Then it stays there and won't come back up.

bad slave cylinder. Usually when you replace that and your master magically goes bad aswell, its annoying but thats what happens.

Nope
It was the fact that I installed the throwout fork retaining spring incorrectly the first time like a rook.
