Default 90 Accord Clutch Alignment Tool Does Not Fit

I'm replacing the clutch in my 90 Accord. My problem is that the clutch alignment tool does not fit securly when installing the clutch/pressure plate. I've gone to 3 different parts stores and the alignment tools of several different kits are the exact same. They say that their kits fit all manual accords for several different years. I'm at a loss because the tool is longer than where the hole in the flywheel is deep and the diameter of the alignment tool is significantly less. So, I can never get the clutch correctly aligned because there is so much play. I was wondering if I have a non factory motor but the number on the motor is F22. So, If anyone knows what my problem is or what I'm not thinking of... please advise.
Thanks,
Jeff

Just go buy a clutch for your car same year as you have at the parts store just a cheap one and use the tool that comes in there and then take it back thats what i did.

go buy a universal clutch alignment tool. They're like $15-20 and have adapters for all size clutches. Pep boys and Caps both carry them.
