Default Are all the gen3/gen4 starters the same?

Ran a gen3 5.3 last year. Starter bolted right in (98 ls1 starter).

I picked up an 08 alum 5.3 to try this year. Starter "dog housing" around the gear smacks the flywheel and will not bolt up?

Am I missing something? Do the alum 5.3's require a different starter?

Thanks

I am running 08 tahoe hybrid 6.0 with ls3 starter bolted right up. I have not started it yet but looks like it should work. I thought they were all the same too?
