I imagine you've tried to rotate the converter?

On a Mopar it will only bolt up one way without a lot of clearance

Sounds like the holes in the flexplate are off, check that?

I had the same issue. Before installing the 904 in my Challenger, I bench checked and marked the flexplate and converter to make sure the bolts would line up. Everything lined up perfect and bolted together. Once I bolted the flexplate to the crank and installed the transmission, the one odd bolt was extremely hard to get started. I think the process of torqueing the flexplate distorts it enough that the bolts are all hard to install.

I would normally agree but Brand "X" converter came out and Brand "Y" will not bolt up. Just a guess Brand "Y" might be the problem. But it will be installed.
