Default Odd 5th gear entry after clutch install

Hey all,
2003 with 145 miles and I got the clutch swapped for a Z1 mild spec clutch and a resurfaced OEM flywheel. I'm getting massive vibrations which im assuming is due to an incorrectly resurfaced flywheel, ordered a new Z1 21lbs to swap it out with.

Anyways, I noticed when i throw the shifter all the way to the right, then up, it won't go into 5th. It goes into all other gears fine but has trouble with 5th. I have to move the shifter about a 1/4 inch to the left then it goes in no problem.
Anyone get this issue before?

Only when you're engaging the clutch?

I had this problem on my 4.0 wrangler. it ended up being the clutch and not the flywheel. It grabbed so hard I could chirp 4th gear at 35mph. I had to buy a new clutch and swap it out.

No just in general. Theyre "heavy" vibrations if that makes sense, doesnt matter how hard i hold the shifter, it keeps shaking.
