Default clutchplate just fits the flywheel, or not ??

For my 99 Merc flathead i have a re-surfaced flywheel and new clutch plate. I think the springs in the clutchplate are to high. They are almost touching the four flywheel bolts. Then there is the issue of the edge of the springs just fitting inside the circle where the flywheel bolts are. Maybe just a hair difference in circumference. Once the clutchplate begins to wear down i believe there will be contact with the four bolts. See the red lines in the photo. Yes, i have the clutchplate facing the correct way. So i wonder if i might have a clutchplate for another type Ford. This one is 10 inch to match the pressure plate bolt holes, splines fit OK too. Any opinions ???
