ACT HD + Streetlite kit issue

So I bought the ACT clutch kit SB7-HDSS. Comes with the heavy duty pressure plate and Streetlite flywheel and everything else.
Ran into an issue during the install where I couldn't get the pressure plate to seat on the flywheel. After fighting with it for 20 mins I pulled it all out and found the locating pins on the flywheel don't match up with the pressure plate no matter the orientation.
Contacted my local dealer and they tried to help a much as they could but ACT only deals with the end user for warranty stuff. Not even mentioning the pain that is their warranty process they overnighted me another kit. Pulled that one out and before I even tried to put it in I checked the alignment pins and I get the same issue. ACT said I could use a mallet to make it fit.... I'm not a master tech by any means but I know my way around a wrench and I'm definitely not gonna hammer on a brand new pressure plate. I don't know if I'm just that unlucky to get the two bad kits our if they just have a bad batch but I figured I'd throw it out there and see if anyone else ran into the same issue.
Not the best pictures but you can see that 2 of the pins are like half a hole off.

I can tell you that several users of the act setup have had problems and had to replace there transmissions due to a length issue of some sort. I know one of the users personally. I wouldnt use act. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.
