Default clutch engaging randomly

hi, i have a 93 civic with a b18a1 swap. I recently had a new stage three clutch and a fidanza flywheel. now i did have them installed at my school by the students since i myself dont have the tool needed to do that myself so i figure that they must have missed something. i dont know what is going on but it for some reason or another, will engage/disengage at different locations when press down on the clutch pedal. when the clutch does engage, it clamps and holds great, but it wont stay in one place. i am lost in what could be causing this. if someone cause please help me with this that would be great. thanks!

did they mess with the hydraulic lines? if so try bleading out the system and see if that helps?
