I obviously don't have the cable stop installed on the top tube, but the cable is about an inch and a half short of where it needs to be to fit in the stop. This is a completely new build, so I'm really trying to make the parts I picked out work, but I need to do something here. Any ideas?

That seems a short lower gyro cable, it needs a longer outer cable than the one you’ve got, failing that at best the only way it might work is with a super long barrel adjuster once you’ve got the cable split mount installed on the tt.
Isn’t it just the outer casing that is too short? Just replace that section with some generic casing and cut to your specific length needed.
Would love to see more pics of this build, I have this frame and have considered that sprocket. Also are those odyssey brakes?

I have odyssey gyro g3 cables on my bikes, they dont have any cuts in the barrel adjusters on cables, i also use colony gyro tabs for gyro tabs and the one you have off, i had to cut a piece to size for that spot also, i hate cuts in the cable guides, flexes so much and always has bad threads
