Not sure what year bike you have but looking at pictures of the linkage there is the potential for a lot of play in the pivot points. Have a look at all the parts and look for wear or slack in the joints or anything that could be bent out of shape and binding with another part of the linkage.

Could be a number of problems,

Let’s start with the easiest:

check bolts,nuts and threads around the peg and its lever; 1,2,3,4.

the joint or link bar between the peg (between 2&3) and the gb selector shaft could be loose have double nut (4), ball joints(3) could have split /pins to secure (4).

could be that the if its a threaded bar that needs adjustment if your to far away (2/3) or major geared adjuster that goes over the selector shaft (that grips over the shaft) needs moving a few teeth (4), so the clamp needs to be moved a few teeth  to lower the lever so you can positively pull it up better as your ankle only little movement.

 

Try them first, come back.

Maybe the clutch cable just needs adjusting....
