Angry New clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel now my car doesn't start

Help!!,
I replaced all those goodies (title) and planned on putting new axels in too, as I had it all apart anyway. Before putting it all back together I figured I would try to start it to make sure all is well. It sounds like the starter is engaging, but the engine is not turning over.
98 LX 2.3 Vtec Manual Trans (obvio)

Thanks

Is the starter spinning the engine?

No, the starter is engaging, but it isn't contacting the flywheel.
I am thinking they gave me the wrong flywheel, however everything seemed to fit perfectly? I am stumped.

Disconnect the battery.

Clean and secure all ends of both battery cables using a wire brush or some sandpaper on the bolts and connections. Also do the same check for the two connections on the starter.

SOLVED,
I took the battery and starter to autozone, the starter tested fine, the battery was ok just low in charge, so I had them put a charge on it for an hour. I put it all back together and BOOYA!!!
