In the photo above the stop screw is still in place as well as the return spring. Both could inhibit pivoting of the arm. And the stop screw looks to be extended pretty far out, perhaps at its maximum. Maybe remove both of those and check again for free play. I see that the slave cylinder in its correct location and I am guessing that you removed its pin.
