On the machined hole to fit the bearing retainer, my bellhousing has a way bigger hole than what the flange of the retainer is. I can't see it causing issues but then again I'm new to this part. What do you think?

it will have the same effect as having no pilot bushing. nothing to align it. the clutch disc has to remain centred if not it will be out of balance. how long do you think the trans input brg will last and the trans.. sounds like you have a later truck b/housing that took a sm465 trans which had a larger in dia pilot brg retainer. you need a machine shop make an adaptor between the frt brg retainer and the b/housing or get an earlier b/housing or one from a car that has the same size. there is no difference in depth of b/housings. there are numerous articles on this t5 swap online. perhaps google it and do a bit of research for yourself before you assume everything
