Help 2007 V6 Mustang Flywheel Issue

Hey very new to the forums;

I have a 2007 v6 ford mustang, ive had her for 3 years now and shes great, im afraid though in my thriftiness attempting to replace the clutch / flywheel I may have royalaly screwed my self,

I have replaced the clutch twice (I have driven a standard Honda for 5 yrs never had to replace a clutch)
so the clutch wasn't the issues, this time I was dead set on throwing out an extra pennies or thousands of them

went with the Spec Stage 2 clutch and Aluminum flywheel, with oem slave throwout bearing

I went to the shop got the trans off without an issue. put her back together without issue

putting the trans back in was a bit difficult the flywheel seem to be a thicker by a quarter inch

I was able to get in the car but it was difficult to shift. I was able to shift with the vehicle turned off.
>turned off vehicle put it in reverse turned it on drove it out of the shop.
>turned off put it in first (was going to leave the vehicle at the shop) I was driving in the first naturally shifted to 2nd so I took it for a spin able to shift but it was harder than normal
> while the car was on I pumped the clutch and it worked without issue for a week
> then a crazy grinding noise was occurring driving under 20 mph starter was whining so I knew I had to take her back to shop I was on my way driving back to the shop , at a toll I had to stop, so I passed the toll in first winding and grinding and it got worse ,

sorry for all the information, towed it to the shop dropped the trans and starter,
> aluminum flywheel was grinding on the starter,(bought a new starter)
> aluminum flywheel snapped all the flywheel bolts and looks like it grinded the engine a little bit photo attached

I have no idea what todo from here I was gonna throw the oem flywheel back on but I was told I need to replace the crankshaft HALPPPPPP

Did you install a flexplate designed for an automatic or a flywheel for the manual tranny? Different sizes and tooth configurations

thanks for the help with the thread>

I got a Flywheel for Manual Transmission 2007-2010 (as my mustang was built after june 2007)
I was told to drill out and use and ez out (ive done that before on a busted head) then sand clean and use the OEM flywheel again after resurfacing
in case I screw this up I was told to use a thread chaser, but I should just not screw it up more than I have

Shes Back on the road using the same clutchplate and pressureplate but went back to using the OEM flywheel (had no choice aluminum one is busted)
my girlfriend helped me out we used a punch and hammer to slowly turn the bolts out
