We prove two results on some special generators of finite simple groups and use them to prove that every non-abelian finite simple group S admits a non-congruence presentation (as conjectured in [CLT24]), and that if S has a non-trivial Schur multiplier, then it admits a smooth cover (as conjectured in [CFLZ]).
