If it cranks you have a different problem, did you try deflooding, you might be flooded, there's lots of people with advice on that, it's helped me a lot already.

Fyi, if it cranks it turns over.
It can turn over and not start, which appears to be what you are having.

If you have a rebuilt engine, they are hard to start for the first 1000miles or so.
Try deflooding procedures a couple times.

So I found the clutch switch, seems the clutch doesn't push it down all the way when it down, if I push it with hand, car starts fine (not a fun way to start the car). Does anyone know how to adjust this switch?

So it's not adjustable, it was just bent, but I was able to bend it back. So it's good for now.
