I had the same problem with automatic transmission.
I remember having to grind off the area a bit to clear (I still had a bolt in there though).

6 bolts is all there is for automatic flexplate (or flywheel).
The 3 hardened shear pins for a flexplate were installed by original engine builder.




The pins are short because the engine had a flexplate for an automatic originally.
