I finally figured out that part of reason my flap handle didn't always feel right when pushed all the way lowered was that the bell ranks on each side were contacting the teleflex cables right at the end of the travel. I first shortened the female ball ends inside of the fuselage at the flap handle but still ended up needing to undo the outer ends of the cables and thread them on farther also. This adjustment effectively lowered the flaps some, so I had to shorten the pushrod and ends between the bell rank and flap on each side.
