Do you hear the noise at .16 in the 2nd video when you try to put it in gear? That is almost for sure a damaged pilot bushing, I absolutely hate the nismo pilot bushing or any needle pilot.
They are very easy to damage during install.

The video has helped tremendously.

Once you get a gear you then have no issues going into gear, What this means is it is not the clutch dragging causing it. If the clutch was dragging it would do it over and over not just once.

You are getting the disk/splines and gears lined up when it finally goes in.

This is what is going on,
The pilot is damaged, My #1 guess. Please change this to a OE bronze type pilot when you pull it to do the turbo kit.

The input shaft spines were not clean and are causing the disk to bind on the input shaft, Once you get it in gear by forcing it slightly the disk moves and releases from the splines allowing it to be shifted easily after that.

If the clutch was not releasing fully it would never allow you to flip through the gears at idle even after you get it in the first gear.
