Put the bolts through the pressure plate finger tight and they will stay still, work in a star type direction in stages upto the required torque setting, as more torque is applied the fingers will move. Make sure they are all at the same 'height'.

You do mean that the fingers move in towards the engine block and not in towards the gearbox bellhousing (shouldn't be possible) don't you?
What's the story, is it a simple clutch change or is it a transplant/box change etc? Do you know if the cable is ok? Selector fork etc? Did you do them to the specified settings?
When you say the pedal is low, do you mean where it physically sits within the cabin or where it bites?
