If your trying to depress the clutch by using the lever on top of the engine,you cant do it by hand.You need to use an open ended spanner on the lever,or connect it up using the cable and handlebar lever.

did it compress when you were putting it together using the clutch compressor? also is the arm solid or does it move but have no affect on the clutch?

There's a little clutch plunger that can drop off the actuating lever when you put the cases together. If there's no resistance when you pull the lever, then that could be the problem. Irritating when it happens. It looks like this:
