If you get all the bolts started hand tight and they are all touched down, that means the special black centering bolt is doing its alignment job. Then you do what I suggest by slowly and evenly bringing up the bolts to the proper torque spec. I just don't agree with fully torquing one of six bolts before even getting the others bolts in.

I think because of the very small shoulder, it forces that shoulder to be in the seated position all the way ?
One other thing I can't quite get about this is why not two alignment bolts, one on each side. If you look at the flexplate like a 360 degree circle, seems like you can be out on the opposite 180 degree side. I know we are talking about thousands here, but if the opposite side drops at all then it is out by that much.
