Default transfer linkage issues

So Ive searched around online and gone through 283 pages of posts on here and I still cant find an answer to linkage woes. About 8 months ago I installed a transfer case drop as a temporary fix to my driveshaft angles. I recently installed an sye and grand cherokee front shaft, so I took out the transfer drop and sold it. Before and after the transfer case drop was installed the transfer worked great, but now that I actually pulled the transfer out and re-installed, it wont go into 4 low. The linkage itself looks fine all the grommet things are new. The shaft on the range selector didnt need to be cut. By hand the transfer shifts fine. There is a part of the linkage that looks as if it should move into a spot on the transmission when it move through the z gate. Mine does not line up and actually moves the entire transmission if it is forced into 4 low. Im wondering if anyone knows of an issue like this and what they did to fix it. I think the transmission mount needs to be replaced but Im not sure it would completely fix this issue. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you installed the shift linkage upside down with the small tab pointing upward instead of downward.
