Keep rotating the pressure plate and slotting it on. In all but one position it'll jut out by about 5mm. But in one position it'll be nice a flush with plates.
Measure your springs. I had loads of clutch slip with new genuine springs, steel plates and EBC friction plates, new cable and everything. Compared to my old original springs, the new genuine ones were about 0.5-1mm shorter. Reverting back to the old original springs pretty much eradicated my clutch slip (except occasionally when really pushing hard in 3rd when clutch still cool).
I also tried EBC heavy springs. They were longer still and really stiff, and caused opposite problem of loads of drag, and impossible to keep bike stationary when hot! Seems there's a tight tolerance required to get a decent clutch action and it's really bad that brand new genuine springs don't meet it!
