Technician A is correct because the flexplate does need to have some flexibility to accommodate movements of the torque converter due to thermal expansion or pressure changes. Technician B is incorrect because the torque converter's rear hub is not bolted to the flexplate; instead, the torque converter bolts to the flexplate around its perimeter, allowing it to transmit engine torque to the transmission.
