You have it, I believe. I do not know how many holes are in the stock housing, the spacer is universal between the OEM housing and the aftermarket ones.

If all you have are the four holes in the housing that mate with the "Ford" flange on the Tremec, then you do not use the counterbored holes that are closer together. Those are to hard mount the spacer to the Lakewood housing, and maybe some other housings, I can't say. But as I mentioned, they really don't matter.

So make sure the lip on the spacer is toward the engine and slips tightly into the large registration hole in the housing. You will want your throwout bearing on the transmission collar as you are sliding all this stuff together.

If you have the mechanical throwout bearing, I put it in the housing first, hanging loosely on the fork, which is clipped to the fulcrum, which is bolted to the housing. Then slide the tranny input shaft through it as you push the tranny up.

If you have a hydraulic throwout, then put it on the Tremec first, feed the lines through the registration hole and pull them out the fork hole as you slide things together. Hydraulic throwouts are an advanced topic. If you are using one of these, I hope you have done your reading Yell if you need help

P.S. You did install a pilot bushing in the end of the crank before you put the clutch on , right ?
