Edit: the one in the video is counter-bored correctly so so long as yours looks like that than it had to be an assembly error(unless the counter bore is the wrong size). In the video at 0:45 that is what your' plate needs to have on that hole. I had one of the first original defective GTM kit's that had issues with the lines and my motor popped. I shut it off right away, removed the plate refilled it and drove it while i was getting replacement lines and my motor started throwing timing codes a month later because little pieces of the thrust bearing where plugging the oil passages to the cam actuators. You may not know your motor has had it's life shortened right away. (as a side note you saw how effective that factory oil pressure light is didn't you lol useless)
The second set of pictures shows the plate freshly installed. I think I have pictures when I first unboxed it but I haven't located them yet.

Most likely it is counter sunk and I couldn't see it from my angle under the car. I will have the part Friday around lunch and I will know for sure.

Nice to hear even if its running it may still be dead. And yes the oil light is useless. Had I not been paying attention to my mirrors I wouldn't have known anything.
