Everyone's trying to help but you don't seem to be taking it, only trying to convince us its all correct even though its not working. Take a pic or video of the arm, I'm betting its not correct. Made the same mistake my first time messing with it too.

Bottom looks fine to me.
How about a shot of the top with some close ups of the adjustment parts of the cable.

why are you replacing it? Did your old one break?

I'm still thinking you got the wrong cable. Was it OEM? And what is the part number that actually came?

I compared the new one to the old one and they were identical- i threw away the packaging for the cable

How did you compare them when one was broken? The length of the housing is irrelevant, provided it reaches to the lever. If the cable inside it a half inch longer, you will have exactly what you have.
Was it OEM? Do you have an invoice with a number on it? At least we can hope you got the same as what was invoiced.

All the extra information would have been really helpful in the original post. Just sayin'.
