125 lifan clutch not fully disengaging

I bought a bike with the 125 lifan 4 speed manual clutch
When I got it, the clutch would not fully disengage, causing downshifts to be rough or require the right engine speed and when you would come to a stop the bike would try to move in 1st gear with the clutch lever pulled and if you held the brake it would cause the motor to stall.

So I bought a new clutch...and the bike is doing the same thing!

Any ideas? I have tried adjusting the clutch cable and the screw behind the plate. I can adjust the cable until the clutch never fully engages...and still not have it fully disengage when I pull the lever. So I don't believe this is an issue with the cable/lever or any adjustment outside of the case.

For now, I have some generic 4 stroke 10 or 15-40 oil. It shouldn't cause this issue that I don't have a motorcycle specific oil right?
