The tall side of the center hub faces out toward the transmission.

You need a tool designed to align the clutch plate. It is very inexpensive (around $8) and most of the time is plastic. All auto parts have them. You must get the one that matches your vehicle. First with the clutch plate bolts loosen, align the plate with this tool and tight the plate bolts. Remove the tool. The gearbox now will fit.

A 4.0 transmission will not hook up to a 3.8, the bellhousing bolt pattern is different. It is possible though, that a machine shop could make an adapter plate to make your combination work.
