Clutch Screw Won't adjust/no clutch return

So i followed the steps in the workshop manual exactly as I should, and when i went to turn the adjustment screw "in until it tightens" it never tightened, and the cable never adjusted.
I also noticed the little single ball bearing that sits in the clutch mechanism on the cover is gone.
The clutch worked totally fine prior to my taking the cover off. I even adjusted the clutch about two months ago.
Any idea as to what could be causing this issue?

I thought the 750 was the same. Can anyone confirm? It may be impossible to lose the ball on the sprocket side.
More likely something has been messed up on the clutch actuator, which is on the sprocket cover.
