Yes. It looks to me like the problem isn't so much the chip, but that the housing is bent in a little at that point. O-rings are magical things, but if you mess with the mating sufaces much you break the magic spell. You need that whole circumference perfectly round, or as close as possible. If it is bent in at all you need to bend it (carefully) back out.
