Probably a fitment for another type of gearbox. In the photo you can see that there isn't a stepped end on the input shaft to locate in the spigot bearing:

As to the alignment I'd hazard a guess that it is slightly out - there are two dowels to align the gearbox casing and if the clutch plate isn't in the correct position these won't locate.
If you don't have the correct alignment tool then use the Superglue method that Brian suggested. You can align it on the bench so it is easy to be accurate.
When you get it right the gearbox slides into place by hand, so don't be tempted to draw it in on the bolts.
