need to adjust shifter linkage

New 454 rider. bought a ike that needs a new shifter lever, starter and a signal. Got the starter on ok replaced the spindle and trhe starter chain. Got the new gasket on ok but here is my problem now that I took it all apart. when I put it back together I am unable to get the sgifter lever righ with the linkage. I can hit neutral and 1st but nothing else and the linkage is very sloppy. Any ideas what I am not doing right lol.

The clutch engaes corectly when I pull it in to allow me to move the bike in gear and locks fine when out. i know it shifted fine before I took it apart so it has to be something I do not have right.

thanks for any help.
