Looks like someone else had this issue, now I'm not sure I want to go back in the transmission since it's all nicely put together and bolts are torques to spec. Hmmm, would it hurt the cable to force it out more with something?

I had the same issue when I took my 12" bars off and put a lower set on. I couldn't pull the cable enough to get it reassembled. I put the cable on the lever and pulled from the lever until I could get it back on the perch. It was a stock clutch cable so I know it's the right one. Clutch was assembled properly ***** in the right place etc. once it was back in the housing I had free play and could adjust it back to normal.

First off it is not un-common to develop a leak at the gasket by the tranny.
You should be able to place the wire cable in the handle with the white plastic grommet and pull the outer cable out to place the end of the cable in the lever housing.
You may just have the wrong cable, maybe.
pull your clutch cable out from under the bike and stretch it out. This is a good time to compare it to the old one which you should have done anyway. holding the outer cable you should be able to pull the wire inner cable out and hear it snap back in place, otherwise those three ***** are not in their ramps and you will have to start the job over and get those ***** in
don't worry about the gasket it can be re-used.
