YES!! it looks too far out. it didnt slide on the transmission pump. the last half inch or so is always the hardest and takes a minute or two to finally slide in. you need to keep on spinning the converter while pushing in. it will eventually slide on.
the pads of the converter should be about 1in from the face of the bellhousing on the trans. how much gap is there between the converter pads and the flywhweel? hopefully you can still spin the converter like that. otherwise you may have damaged something while bolting it down. you might have to lower it down to be able to fully seat the converter

like 'the merv"' said, you want a gap of about 1/8th+- in between the pads of the converter and the flyhweel. you HAVE to measure the distance. very important otherwise you will screw something up.
from your PM, if it moved it out that far something isnt right. unbolt the converter and try it again and measure before you bolt it up again

looks like it has about the same gap as when it was in my car. did you measure the gap? what flexplate are you using? and check that the weight is facing the oilpan on the flexplate. looks like it is facing the converter?
