This is an awkward translation, nothing in the poetic lines, but I hope it helps.
The History, - In 1839, the village chief elder is named Liman Koleci.
The village Stushaj was inhabited in the Upper Quarter by the clans of Lazri (native), Duka (from Gjurasi) and Koleci (from Selita); in the Lower Quarter by the clans of Jakimi (native), Dumani (from Çidhna) and Kozi (from smth? of Dibra). The arriving inhabitants were settled in the village at the beginning of the XVIII century.
In Shtushën, in the lands of the Jakimi clan there were settled families that came from the regions of the sanxhak of Dukagjin, as Leka, Markja and LLeshi from Kurbneshi, Koleci from Selita, Duka from Macukulli, but also from the regions of the sanxhak of Ohrid, like Kozi from the Greater Dibra.
The first (or elder?) of the Koleci clan came from the Great Lami in Selita, the trunk of Kolë Leci. Later, a family of the Keci clan found support at Koleci even taking on their last name. Clans

That text speaks of the Dedaj family/brotherhood (probably from the village of Dedaj in Shkrel), one branch of which descends from Vuletë Deda, whose descendants live in Gocaj, Sterkuj, the island of Lezha. Then the text mentions some of the families in Gocaj, including those of Gjekë Koleci and Dedë Koleci. In the island of Lezha live the close relatives of these Koleci families.
This sounds like a plausible theory, you mentioned your ancestors wore typical Malsor garb which indeed differed a little from those of Mirdita.

nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishull_i_Lezh%C3%ABsIt is close to the town of Lezhë. As I mentioned earlier, the mountaineers of Shkreli and other clans often led their cattle to the lowlands alongside the Adriatic during winter-time. This was their second home. If this theory is true, then your ancestors most probably came from the village of Dedaj in Shkreli. From there they might've settled close to Lezha and then re-settled in Klezna. This is not impossible since thye would probably have known some fellow clansmen there as the Shkreli clan had winter pastures there as well. And it isn't a big distance as you can see in the map.
