So my questions:
1- What the hell?
2- I didn't do the clutch drum on the centrifugal clutch it measured 116.5mm which is the service limit 🤔 is that the hell maybe?
3- Is it possibly some sort of hidden gremlin in the shift linkage? I notice my center shaft on the lifter cam that the ball retainer rides on has groves in the center like the little spring has been hanging up or something
I just wanna ride and such and stuff so lend me you finger clicking ideas together we stand divided we fall.

First lest start with start with what is adjustable and what's not:
The external adjustment on the cover is for the manual clutch.- the centrifugal clutch has no adjustment and the sprag clutch only works in one direction.
The sprag clutch locks up under deceleration to provide engine braking and will allow the vehicle to be push started.
The centrifugal clutch has a very narrow rpm range between unlocking, slipping and locking.
Above about 2500 RPM the centrifugal clutch is fully locked - if there is any slippage above that, it's the manual multi-plate clutch that is doing the slipping.
So in most cases, it usually comes down to improper adjustment of the manual clutch release, improper assembly of the clutch or the use of non-approved engine oil.
You say you replaced the plates - did you replace the driven metal plates or have them reconditioned before assembly? Did you install new clutch springs? What kind of oil did you soak the plates in? Was it a JASO rated oil and are you using the same oil in the engine?
I'll go out on a limb and suggest the manual clutch release was not assembled correctly.
The clutches have nothing to do with shifting except to protect the transmission from improper shifting. As the shift lever is operated, it releases the manual clutch disconnecting the engine from the transmission, so whether shifted normally by letting off the throttle and shifting or abnormally with the throttle held wide open, the crankshaft is disconnected from the transmission input shaft. I'm guessing that in one fashion or another, the clutch release is holding the clutch in release
