    If you didn't pull the gear out it shouldn't be.

    Hmm it seems it stopped in between low and high, you might need to take it back off and turn the gear manually.

    You have to rotate the gear counterclockwise to shift the transfer case back to 2H

    Yes, fully clockwise and transfer case in 2H the contacts (circled in red) should be inline with the 2H position on the actuator.

    I rotated gear counter clock wise till it couldn’t go anymore (without forcing anything) and now it is in 4H. But when I drive forward or reverse. there is loud clanking. sounds like it’s trying to shift.

    Should be able to turn the front driveshaft if the transfer case is in 2wd and the ADD is unlocked.

    Sounds like it got stuck between ranges for some reason.

    So either the transfer case or ADD is still engaged, if you can jack up a front wheel and see if you can turn it and if it turns the front driveshaft that would tell you.
