Handlebar Bushings advice

I would like someone to give me an idea of where I have gone wrong.

It took 5 tonne of pressure to press out the old bushings. Only 1 tonne to press the new bearings in.

The new bushings where from off the road.

The handlebars are wobbling worse than before.

There is a small gap between the bottom of the clamp and the top yolk plate.
Is that normal?
Finding it difficult to get any purchase on the nut that tightens everything up on the underside of the top yolk plate.

If I press the bushing down a little more should it make any difference? If i do the handlebar clamps will touch the top plate.

Any advice negative, or positive is welcome.
