Default defective pressure plate??

Yet another problem with the clutch install. I'm working on installing my Ram Powergrip HD and the pressure plate doesn't have the two little holes that line up with the two pegs on the flywheel. Am I missing something, or do I simply have the wrong part? I see no way how I can get the pressure plate bolted up without those two little holes. I was planning to get this finished tonight, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I looked up the part number on the box and it's 98931HD which is exactly what it should be.

Here's a picture and as you can see, there are no holes for the little pegs:

Well, I called TSP this morning and it turns out that the clutch I bought doesn't use those pegs and they have to be cut off or grinded down. It sure would've been nice to know that from somewhere before I put the flywheel back on.

If you have a stock flywheel the pegs just knock out with a hammer and chisel

This saved me some time when I do my clutch. I have the same Ram PP. Before I send my PP and flywheel out for balancing I guess I'll be removing the pins.
