You got to 6NT (you weren't able to stop at 6♥ because of a misunderstanding).
The defense starts with a small club on which you play the Queen from the table and your RHO covers with the King and you win your Ace, what's next?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Well, there are a few things here.
First, a diamond to the queen is a 0% play. If the King is onside, they win it and return a diamond, and you go down.
Second, the club pips are important. Did LHO lead a 4th best 2? A top of nothing 6?
Third, I don't like the play to trick 1. Assuming you have 6 heart tricks, a spade and a diamond, you need 4 club tricks to make. Depending on the club pip that was led, if you play the ♣7 at trick 1, and play LHO for the 9 or the ten, you will make 4 club tricks by winning the first trick, with the Ace if RHO covers with the 9 or the 10, and lead a club back to the 8.
After the trick 1 error, you need to lead a club, probably playing the Jack and another, making when clubs are 3-3, or when RHO has K9 or KT.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Useless to give this problem without the club spots.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

For a play problem, show all spots.
