Usually if you are getting locked out of gear on a shift you can feel/hear it. Missing the gate and whacking into the post of the H pattern feels different.

I had a lot of trouble on my T56 when I put on a short throw because the left right movement was so vastly reduced. My centering spring was very strong and I was missing the shift because of the short travel and extra spring assist. I changed the way I shift and now I don't miss shifts because of the H pattern anymore.

If you never heard the syncros wind up or felt anything terrible in the shifter handle, you are probably hitting the post on the H. Then again if you don't have the problem after putting all the adjustable stuff in, you solved the problem.
Yes it is shifting just fine now after adding the two parts on. I've only had steeda short throws so that is the only thing I know, lol. This one came with it, but now it is good and smooth.
