Default drive plate binding up after engine swap

hello,
I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their drive plate binding up upon re- installing their engine. I'm replacing my AMB block with an awp using the amb drive plate and now its binding up when I torque the bell housing bolts. I took one spacer out from behind the drive plate (the other one doesn't look like it comes off?) and its still binding up. I'm going to try to get that one off now and maybe space the bell housing out with something, but that seems very sketchy to me so I'm trying to avoid that. It doesn't seem to be the torque converter as far as I can tell.

Anyone else have this happen or have any thoughts on this issue?

looks like the crank boss is different even though the awp was an automatic. Its intefering with the fitting on the torque converter. the awp torque converter is not compatible so Its either fudge it with spacers or change out the crank. awesome.
