yikes, well there's ur problem 
looks like the clutch plate dampening springs have snapped oddly, u or mom done any aggressive launches in it?
also looked like the release bearing travelled too far (applied too much cable tension in attempt to compensate for the broken clutch plate that's not allowing it to fully disengage?) & struck the PP

the flatter side of the plate faces flywheel so nothing should foul the flywheel bolts, the side with all the hub/springs etc petruding out points to the gearbox
Last thing. How can I clean this flywheel? I can use this retainer clips on new clutch bearing and regrease around that area.
Is it possible if I can clean this gearbox inside and outside with using wd40. These driveshaft inputs got covered by thick tissues. Oh yea driveside driveshaft inner got disconnect so is it possible if I can reboot or not?
maybe I need to reconnet this clip on that above line

urm u clean flywheel with a rag & brake/carb cleaner till it's shiney?
remove old release bearing, swap retainer clip onto new one.
wipe clean all the dirt off the input shaft collar, input shaft splines, clutch fork end,
smear some grease on input shaft collar, input shaft splines, clutch fork end, where release bearing touches the PP.
also a drop of oil into where the clutch arm pivot swings on the bellhousing.
do NOT spray wd40 inside ur gearbox n contaminate the gear oil. only use wd40 outside. inside engines n gearboxs must be kept clean & proper oil.
ermm did you yank! the driveshafts off the gearbox via pulling on the shafts & dislodging the inner boot rather than follow haynes guide on carefully levering the inner CV out the gearbox via a small access gap with flat-head?

dya know how to use it? or followed the printed instructions?
unscrew the big cone bit all way back,
fully slacken the middle screw,
insert the tip through the PP & clutch plate assembly,
tighten the middle screw till the tip end locks onto the clutch plate spline hole,
screw the big cone towards the PP till it touches the fingers,
nudge the clutch plate around till the edge sides are exactly even distance away from the PP face sides so it's precisely centered (most important step),
tighten the big cone towards PP to secure its position,
now fit the clutch assembly onto flywheel n tighten PP bolts,
loosen the middle screw to release the tip end and remove tool, simples
getting the clutch plate centred on the PP face is very important so the input shafts & locating dowels line up, otherwise you'll never get the gearbox on or damage it.
when aligned correctly and the dowels are clean n fits the dowel holes exactly, the gearbox should simply slot in.

good lad, yep soft & smooth with no grinding reverse gear is how it should feel.
now ur better prepared for next time these symptoms happen.
