Have a friend bump the starter (after you've taken all safety precautions) with you underneath watching the engagment of the starter to flywheel.

Hope this helps.
teeth on flexplate and starter are both fine. i have my brother lay underneath and watch as i tapped the button. it makes a jammed/grinding noise and the starter gear is wedged in the flexplate. makes no sense
