Hand brake cable to tight to connect back to Lever??

Hi all I’ve just replaced my clutch and gearbox all went well. Although when it came to put my handbrake back together the cable was was already really taught and I had to use a set of grips to pull it through and attach to the brake lever. Only to find out that when I tried to set off the car was stuck with the handbrake on? Even though the lever wasn’t on?
Cheers in advance

pull on the lever hardish to settle the cable etc, if its still tight adjust the cable
