Default Help! Removed heel shifter, now bike won't shift correctly!

bought the Kury spacer to remove the heel shifter on a 2015 fatboy. Took both shifters off, put on spacer, seemed like an easy deal. But now it only has 4 gears and won't find neutral. I tried to put it all back together and same issue. Im Not sure what gears I'm pissing but there's only 4 there! Leave for sturgis in 3 days and need it fixed!

Get the bolt in the grove properly and tighten it,(properly).
Did you strip the splines?

The spacer needs to have some wiggle room side-to-side when cold. When it gets hot from the engine heat, it will expand and make it hard to shift. I learned this the hard way and had to loosen mine on the side of the road.
