No thrust washers go in the flywheel hole. Maybe a photo would clarify what you're asking.

The best thing to do is read the Ford Service book! The reason those washers won't fit is because they don't go there!

That's NOT where they go - they go on before the clutch drum !

Use the MTFCA Transmission book and/or Mike Bender's Model T-Tips videos on YouTube.

Wrong location. I use the Ford service manual when I put a T transmission together. Or at least refer to it before I put a T transmission, differential or engine together. I’ve rebuilt a few T components but a refresh of what I’m going to do keeps me from doing the wrong thing. Been there and done that.
