The space you are referring to is normal. Just slide the t/c to the flex plate and bolt her down.

Depending how big your fingers are you may have too much clearance. You can shim up the gap with washers, but you should use a caliper to make sure they are flat and the same thickness. If the clearance is less than 1/4" you should be fine.

Sounds normal to me. Bolt it up good and tight.
