    The bolt lugs shouldn't touch the flexplate. There should be a gap of about 3/16", but NEVER more than 1/4". DON'T use the bolts to pull it on. You probably don't have the pump engaged. If you force it, you'll hose up the pump and/or the converter. Rotate the converter while gently pushing in and it should engage the pump and drop into place. If the pump is engaged, and you still have the gap, you need precision shims to take up the slack.
