Did you reset the ratchet on the quadrant after you fitted the new clutch ? Lift the pedal up against it's stop with a bit of wood or a second person (this releases the ratchet) and then pull the clutch cable inner out as far as it will go in the engine bay. Release the pedal and then press it a few times, you should hear the ratchet reset.
You can't mix low lift and normal lift clutch parts but since you replaced as a set it should be ok. I remember an issue with clutch ratchet not working correctly if you had too much carpet behind the pedal which meant it couldn't be pressed down far enough for the ratchet to be triggered.
