I have seen a dimple on some factory ones that if mounted backwards, would create an obvious wobble appearance because the plate would be tilted on the crankshaft flange. But the angle cut on the teeth look like they're facing the wrong direction too.

A Pontiac flexplate can't be installed backwards. The bolt pattern won't allow you to get all 6 bolts in.

I'm pretty sure you can only get one bolt in if backwards.
