Default 2nd gear hard to put in when launching

hello everyone, i am a super newb at this but i have a jdm b16a on a b16 tranny with lsd and when im launching from a dead stop it rides fine in first but once i try to shift in 2nd when i redline i floor the clutch all the way down and its still super hard to put it into 2nd, can i get some suggestion??
btw it has a stage 3 clutch idk if that has anything to do with it and it shifts smooth when im casually driving, it only happens when im launching off the line, i also have launch control set to 3500 maybe that might help with figuring out whats wrong. well anyways feel free to throw any suggestions at me i reallly appreciate it!

Bleed the clutch slave and make sure its functioning properly as a first step of diagnosis.
