I messed around with putting the different length screws in different holes (cause I was dumb and didn't lay them out as they were), and I got it working okay enough so I could ride it. It would fly through the gears during acceleration, but shifting down was a whole other story. It would take multiple kicks before I would feel it shift down a gear.

Could it be as simple as greasing the rubber grommet on the shift lever bolt? The thing that really confuses me is that it shifts perfectly until I tighten down the screws nearest the shift lever bolt.
