Changed the master and slave I’m assuming pulling the trans is the next step

Did you bleed the system? I dont think your trans will have anything to do with your pedal sticking to the floor.

I’ve bled it multiple times and replaced the master/slave and in the video the car won’t go into gear when it’s turned on

Where does your shift fork sit? Take a pic of where the slave meets the fork on the trans.
Maybe some smarter than I can chime in, but have you bless any with car running?

First off. Order the boot for that hole.
Second, the for should be more centered than that. More bleeding. Try two man bleed. Pedal up, open bleeder, pedal goes down, close cleeder

What about the noise when I press in the clutch ^^ the first video

I’m not sure on the sound. Hopefully someone smarter than I can jump it

Could just be that when you push the clutch in that it’s only just barely touching the flywheel.
What condition is the clutch?

Yes you may have a bad master. However also read this clutch bleed procedure (https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/clutch-will-not-disengage.460266/#post-153268772). Notice the paragraph that starts with "Step Two: Next have person pump clutch, hold down pedal...". You MUST do this to get remaining air out of the slave (or you can get stuck pedal, no complete disengagement, etc).

Rechecking this first is WAY easier and faster than pulling the tranny again OR replacing the master.

IMO you need to bleed it better.
"Step Two" about 3/4 down the page: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/clutch-will-not-disengage.460266/#post-153268772
Edit: Gary beat me to it!

Your fork is maybe a little too far to the driver's side. Did you use any pivot ball shim(s)?

It's hard to tell from the pic of your pressure plate, but the fingers look a little flat. They should protrude a bit. Maybe you have a different angle pic?

Finally, do you know for certain what your flywheel step is?

Clutch basic 101: A clutch basics thread for everybody

The following statements are my opinions but they are based on 26 years of wrenching on mitsubishis and 21 of those years on DSMs. This applies to 4g63 cars only. I am not commenting on a 420a clutch although some things do apply.This is not meant to be just DSM specific but could be applied...

Your fork too far too the right IMO. The noise you great might be the fork scraping on the pressure plate. Did you check the flywheel step height? The fingers look very flat but they would all have a slight uphill angle to them.
