Diff Bearing Cap Bolt Torque is the Same for Iron, or Aluminum Carriers. (71 Ft Lbs)

The crankshaft threads are pretty hard, maybe try getting a longer balancer bolt (no washer), and threading it in all the way (using all the threads) and trying that.

The 2022 Mustang GT Premium California Special specs show it comes with a Torsen Rear-End: 2022 Ford Mustang GT California Special (topspeed.com) This is pretty much normal behavior for the Torsen, as mine also does this exact same thing occasionally.

The Flanges are interchangeable to the pinion shaft. Its only the driveshaft mounting that is different. Either way you prefer would work. Both ways, you need to be careful not to crush the collapsible spacer any more & end-up with too much preload on the pinion bearings.

I set-up a 2019 Mustang Rear a couple of weeks ago, here was the patterns: Drive Side: Coast Side:
