Timing chain master link question

Hi, I've installed a new JWIS timing chain on my '79 240d. I had trouble fitting the outer plate that fits onto the master link. I even tried to hammer it in on the workbench just to see if it would go on at all, but no luck. I eventually reamed the holes just enough so that it would barely fit on with some effort. The fit is tight but it moved around slightly when "peening" the ends of the link shafts. I understand that the official crimping tool also is able to squeeze on this outer plate onto the link. This makes me think that the plate should be much much tighter than I've got mine on. Should I get a new master link and press the outer plate on the "right way" or should I stop worrying about the chain coming apart with the way things are now?
