Clutch Pedal on floor.

Clutch Pedal on floor.
Hey so I've been diagnosing an issue where my clutch decided to leave the building when I was out drifting the other week.
So far I've removed the slave and master cylinder (replacements are on order) but if I place my thumb over the brake fluid pipe and try to compress the piston it does hold the air, so that's leading me to think they're both fine (am I missing something and they still could be broken?).
I've also looked at the clutch pedal assembly and can't see any signs its broken, I've uploaded a short video of the area for anyone else to view. There seems to be some signs of *maybe* brake fluid on the assembly, and a piece of metal that I'm unsure about but no cracks I can see or anything that looks like it's broken.

I don't think the clutch itself is hurt, when I have someone press the pedal you can see the slave cylinder *wiggle* but doesn't move to full extension. it's asif something is trying to get into the piston but not enough pressure to move the piston. I also apart from on the clutch pedal assembly cannot see any evidence of fluid leak.
This is the bit of metal im unsure about and looks like it may be bent.

You mind as well pull out the clutch pedal assembly and inspect it thoroughly. Not much work, and while its out you can weld it up, especially since you're drifting with the car. You will regret it otherwise.
And the slave cylinders have gone bad in the past, and that is my suspect of what is going on.

Anything you see that's concerning?
