I'm sure your 2-speed feeling problem can be 3 different things.
1.) The 2-speed engages way to early and so you can’t feel it. I don’t believe you tightened the screws so far that it doesn’t shift at all.
2.) The 2 screws for the adjustment of the shifting point are total different, so it will shift very soft and you can’t feel this.
3.) Because all is new, the bearing in the 2-speed looses a bit oil witch comes on the clutch-bell. And that makes the shifting very smooth. After a few laps it should be gone.

When you disassemble the 2 speed, look very good at the shoes, you can see if the have touched (shifted in second gear) or not.
