Default Slave cylinder install HELP

Hello all,
I’m in the process of building a Shell Valley Cobra and after 6 months finally got the engine and trans installed (Blueprint 408 and Tremec). I now have moved onto the hydraulic slave clutch mounting but have ran into a wall. The kit came with a Wilwood pull type slave. The instructions are ok but don’t provide the type of info that would help me. With the clutch fork/TOB approx an inch from the clutch fingers, the slave rod runs thru the hole in the bell housing back to the slave cylinder....and there in is the problem. No where to mount the slave valve body. Plus the clutch fork swings in a slight arc adding to my frustration. You can see in attached pics how it lines up or lack thereof.
My questions are...
1. Has anyone else had or have a similar setup that I can copy ?
2. Any recommendations on how I could or should mount it ?
3. In regards to #2....I’ve read that I should keep the slave closer to the trans to avoid engine vibration or interference. Yes or no ?
4. Would I be better off changing to a push type slave and mount to the trans ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
