Need some help

I installed a new 5800 gear set on my bike. 50/34 front and 11-32 cassette. I also installed new shifter and brake cables.
I'm now pulling my hair out on the shifting.
First trouble is it will not shift down to the 11 tooth gear.
Second is it will shift all the way up to the 32 gear nicely but when I go to shift back the other way there is slack and no shifting at all. I have adjusted the barrel tension at the rear derailleur and this will work to get it shifting back up to the 32 but slack again going back down.
I have turned the H and L adjustment screws I and out.
I have the 32 adjusted where the chain won't jump off the cog into the spokes. I feel good about that adjustment.
I fidget the chain to go down to the 11 cog and thought I was done. I then shifted back through the gears and get back up to the 32 and then when I would go back down no clicking.
Ughhh
Need some help.
