The FSM also states that it should be relatively easy to push the tensioner in. However, due to my incorrect filling method or maybe the incorrect oil, mine is very hard to push in.

The oil type is not a big deal.
It is only for damping effects before oil pressure is sufficient and reaches the tensioner.
It is easy to push in when its not primed, otherwise, it is difficult.
The metallic sound concerns me, try to make sure it is not just the chain on the rail.
With the tensioner out, try to wiggle the tensioning rail side to side.
If the noise continues, you may want to take off the valve cover to get a look at things.
