Default Truck grinds and jerks into reverse

Hey guys, I have a 95 c1500 red 4.3

Just got done installing new clutch + components, new slave cylinder and clutch line. I have the same problem prior to the clutch job, but it I think it made it worse.

I got everything back together and the truck starts and it'* still on jack stands for now. The pedal feels firm. It engages into first fine, but it still grinds into reverse.

​​​​​When I shift into reverse, you can feel and hear a grind and you have to force the lever into reverse, then it jerks to engage.
I don't want to have to drop the tranny a third time now.
I used to alignment tool to hold the clutch and bolted the pressure plate on. I didn't have to force the transmission in or anything. I'm certain all the air is out of the hydraulic system. Any ideas?

You are going to need to look inside.
