4.0 AW4 -> AX15 swap problem, pilot bearing

Gotta problem going on my 4.0 swap and need some input. The engine I got was in front of an AW4 and I’m installing an AX15. Problem is the pilot bearing. The hole in the rear of the crank is setup for the snout on the torque converter from the auto tranny and is too large for the OD of the pilot bearing.

I know my AX5 had the bearing pressed into the flywheel, but the new flywheel I got for the AX15 doesn’t have a center section (there’s a lip on the end of the crank that fits inside the hole in the new flywheel).

Am I missing something??? Here’s a couple pics of the crank end and the new flywheel I have….any help is much appreciated. Is the flywheel not correct??
