starter alignment?

[TwistedTy]

just got finished putting the coolant plug into the block. Now i removed the starter but am not sure on how to align the starter to the flywheel. everytime i think it is aligned, when i tighten the screws the bottom of the starter moves back and then creates an off gap between the transmission case and starter but a good seal to the tranny case and starter at the top. the gap is only at the bottom. Any ideas?

Mine didn't have any shims nor did it require any aligning. I remember a slight gap there too, but it still started just fine. :?
