Clutch Pedal Softening

Clutch Pedal Softening
Sorry to start yet another clutch thread.
I just had my HardtopGuy clutch setup (but with ACT Organic friction disc) installed 2 weeks ago. For the first few days the pedal was hard as a rock. I really had to rev it up to get going because there were only two positions, engaged or not. The engagement point was pretty high up as well.
After one week, I noticed the pedal became noticeably softer (although still relatively strong). The engagement point lowered a little and I no longer have to rev it abnormally to get going. Is this just part of the break-in? I completed the recommended break-in period of 200 miles within the first 3 days. There have been no launches or high-revving slips, just day-to-day driving. Could it have to do with the fluid that was used during installation?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
P.S. The clutch is not slipping.

i gave you all the details I know. I didn't install the clutch myself.
let me restate this simple question:
can choice of fluid influence the firmness of the clutch pedal?
