Default AAMCO trashed my buddies fidonza flywheel. can it be saved

how is it possible that AAMCO did this to a new fidonza flywheel im my friends 2000 WS6? he bought a new RAM clutch along with the flywheel. according to AAMCO he got the wrong clutch? I call BS. anyway, the fidonza never stood a chance. this is what it looks like after they installed it and attempted to test drive the car.







he loaned it to me for my LS1 swap in my 69 camaro. i was just wondering if it can be resurfaced. also are the clutch bolts metric or standard? all the clutch bolt holes are shiny im just wondering if AAMCO forced the wrong bolts through.
