Gravity is the force in question, and I can see that you don't have a good grip on the other model yet, Aaron. Thank you for trying to see it.
Gravity is the essence, and let me put both models black and white next to each other:
Black Hole: invisible mass of enormous gravitational proportions.
Black Eye: a gravitational depression of enormous proportions.
Where you are suspecting a 'plus' in your model, I have the opposite 'minus' in my model.
As long as you are looking for the 'plus' of an enormous gravitational mass you will not be able to see the 'minus' of an enormous gravitational depression in the other model.

Do you know Rubin's Vase?
In one view, we see the Vase. In the other view, we see the Two Faces. Everything the same, except for what is inside our mind witnessing the view.
Same situation here.
I can see both models, but it appears you can only see one model.
As long as you do not see the other model, you will also not consider it possible.
So, you have to try see it first.
Gravity is the force, and photons are subjected to it at the enormous level that it presents itself (which would be true in both models).
With the Black Eye, all matter is already present with all masses in a galaxy, all having their own gravitational properties, pulling and tugging on each other. Collectively, the center is a depression, and right next to the center is the gravitational Wall. That Wall is identical in gravitational force as what you envision is required with the invisible mass.
Do you see it?
In one model, the heaviest matter sits in the center, invisible and all.
In the other model, all matter is found on the outside, creating that gravitational monster in between because all masses are tugging on it. It is a depression, a 'minus', and not a 'plus'. If anything falls into the eye, then the result will be the same as putting your glassware in the laundry dryer. It all becomes crud and gets spewed out.
I hope you can see the other model. If not, then you only have the option to stick with the one you can see.
