Well the Mozart is often one of those pieced in which a player could perform it on a 5 day tour and each a it's a bit different. Not mistakes perhaps but there might be a really minor one, but played slower, a shade faster and the 32nds notes may start a shade slow and pick up tempo.

Often when you seem to get stuck you can play more scales, try stuff you've never done before such as circular breathing, double tonguing. Also cut your practice time to 3 minutes the first 2 days just saying the second movement of the Mozart, the clarinet remains in the case. Spend the time studying the rhythm. 10 minutes for 3 days then 15 minutes for 3 days and get back and let me know how you are doing. The brain might be telling you something. It's a fun trick to see if we can say the rhythm such as those 32nds notes you talked about, and if you can't well practice without your horn and and when you can you will be able to with your horn. So the horn can get in the way when learning rhythms.
