C220 Reverse gear problem

Hi all, I have 2015 yr C220 with om651 and 6speed manual box.
When bought a car noticed that it's very difficult to select a reverse gear no matter Engine running or NOT. It is requires a good pressure by hand to be put on gearstick to the left (in direction of the gear from N to R) please see picture below it is a Blue arrow mark. After that it's past the 1 and 2nd gear line go further to the left with a metal knock sound from underneath of the car. Then is go smoothly into the Reverse gear by pushing the gearknob a bit forward. Changed Clutch kit, and didn't help. Help guys?

Blue arrow is where it's difficult to pass

i'ts been ages since i drove a manual merc but aren't you supposed to push down the gear selector before pushing left to reverse?
see it like 2 height levels, level 2 (default) is for gear 1 & 2, level 1 below is for reverse so you need to first push down to go to level one before you move left

Are you sure? No way there is no extra handling you need to do to get in gear vs first and second. Too many mistakes would happen
