It's the back side that's the problem - the protrusion which makes contact with the pressure bolt (aka thrust pin). They are misaligned causing significant wear to both the "bolt" end and the contact point. It looks like the rail might slip off toward the rear of the engine any moment, causing the chain to lose its tension and ... well, use your imagination.
