For starters, yes, the bearing does ride on the clutch levers all the time. There is no return spring, and no bearing to lever clearance, so there is no pedal free play in that regard. There is an adjustment on the clutch cable but it's purpose is merely for pedal height from the floor.
The levers on the new clutch are a full inch lower than those on the old clutch. That does sound like a lot. Having replaced a number of clutches in TN series tractors I don't recall coming across one, whether new or reman that I couldn't make work by adjusting the cable.
I've learned over the years to take a measurement of the position of release levers from the tractor split joint and compare it with the measurement of release bearing to the split joint. In this case it would involve holding the pedal up with a bungee cord then pushing the bearing back by hand. If I don't think I can get enough adjustment on pedal linkage to bring the two measurements within 1/8 the two halves don't go together until I figure out why. I take it you have adjusted the cable and still have the problem?

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
