JWT flywheel install - alignment studs
Okay, the JWT flywheel I received came with a little baggie with 3 little metal studs in it. I'm assuming these are used to help align the flywheel with the clutch, correct? How necessary is it to use these when installing the flywheel? Can it be done without them? If the install is successfully done without them, what are the potential resulting problems? (If any.)

Why wouldn't I use them? I believe it would have something to do with how much of a goober I am.
We were under the impression the studs, for whatever reason, hadn't been included with the flywheel. So, we went ahead and made the install work without them. Everything went fine, and the install seems to be fine. No unexpected vibrations that could result in the clutch plate not being perfectly aligned with the flywheel. Then yesterday I was breaking down all my old cardboard boxes from all my latest shipments I've received. When I got to the one that had contained the flywheel, I found the little baggie with the studs in it... stuck at the bottom of the box under a flap underneath the packing material.
Oh well. Too late.
So now I'm just retroactively researching it. Oh, and it's the stock clutch. At this point I'm guessing it should be fine and everything is aligned, since there is no unexpected vibration when revving the engine.
