Starter Motor woes

Hey all. Ok, so this is my third starter motor and I'm starting to believe the problem is with me. The starter I purchased is this one:
Amazon Amazon

When I go to put it in, the screws aren't quite lining up with the holes and the housing, right as it mates with the other side, seems to be just a tad too wide. Can anyone confirm this is the right starter? My TL is an '05 6MT with VIN 19UUA655X5A309364.

If it's N17728, then it's for the TL, unless boxed wrong.
I'd match it up with the starter you removed to verify it's correct.

Are you certain you didn't get the one for 5AT instead?

This is the next thing that needs to be done if it hasn't already been done.

You bought BBB Industries 17728. That part number is for auto transmission.

You'll need to return it and get the manual transmission one: BBB Industries 17899
