X-Axis Motor Shaft does not have pad (flat part)

I am in the midst of assembling the MK3S+ and at instruction  "3. X-axis assembly > step 10) Assembling the X-Axis motor pulley (part 2)."  After close inspection, the shaft of stepper motor does not have a flat pad needed to properly mount and secure GT2-16 motor pulley.  Help...

Use the live chat in the e-shop and send them a photo. They will likely send you a replacement. (This is a community forum so we cannot help in that aspect). 

You could file a flat on the shaft yourself if you have the suitable tools to do so, but care must be taken not to damage the motor nor allow the filings to work their way inside it or its bearings.
