You likely have the clutch pull rod misaligned during reinstall. Nothing is broken, just reinstalled out of alignment....

Here are the supplemental tips on clutch install...

I expect you're hearing the lash of the dogs in the transmission.

I lined up the dot and arrow. clutch doesn’t snap back. I’m not sure what the problem is

So is this the correct alignment on the clutch arm?

The parts alignment stamps can be perfect like you have done in your picture, but internally the spline/clutch pull rod can be completely out of alignment.

Help yourself by reading this thread completely, the second half comments are what I think is your issue(s).

In that thread, you will find a YouTube video from one of our senior members on fz07.org. He shows how to put it back together and get everything aligned and working. 

Give that a shot, read closely the comments of everyone - some things you can't jump right to the endgame, you want to see what others have done, and have said.

I have watched that video and done it the exact same way but still nothing

Suggestion is to read thru the thread I linked to earlier (below)

In the second half of that thread find this "how to" approach from @Evill_Ed

Okay, so my method is to remove the clutch pull arm by removing the snap ring. I slide the outer case cover back on letting the rack index itself. Once the cover is secured, I reintall the pull arm, aligning the dots and reinstall the snap ring. 

 I have not had any issues doing it this way.

Ed is a senior resource, and I plan to follow his alternate approach for indexing/alignment when I do my next clutch pak replacement. Perhaps it will give you an alternative
