I may have this wrong but doesn't the clutch release arm feel sloppy anyway from the slave cylinder end.
I am saying this because when I changed my slave cylinder the actuator rod came off the arm and I had a right job getting it back on, but the fact that the release arm was moving around made it easier. I remember thinking the same as you and I asked a mate who said "just bolt it all back together, bleed it, then see what happens" and it was OK. Took some bleeding mind.

afink whats happend in this case is the arm has come off the pivot like happend to me, and still to the day i dont no how or why

but your quite right there must be 30mm of play in the arm when the slave is off

Damn big holesaw and cut an access into the bellhousing.  The refit the plug (the bit you find inside the holesaw) with silicone and a couple of screws when all is done.
