Default Clutch release fork not lining up with hole for slave cylinder

I tried replacing my slave cylinder but throw out fork did not line up with the push rod correctly and I destroyed the first cylinder trying to bleed it on the transmission. I then took some pictures of the inside of the transmission and saw that the throw out fork is not centered on the hole.

I tried to use a screw driver to see if the fork was movable but it didn't seem to want to move. I assume that this fork needs to be centered. The bad cylinder had a rip in the rubber boot. I believe this was caused by the fork not being centered. Does anyone know if there is a way to move this and would it require the transmission to be removed. I hear that the throw out bearing does not usually go bad and am not sure if this would even cause this. Could this also be caused by the ball pin or spring clip? Oarts 6 and 7 on the image.

Finally are there any tricks to getting the push rod to line up with the throw out fork. Even if it was centered it still seems pretty far in there? Thanks.
