sprocket problems!

So I slept on it and it struck me I can probably install the retainer first and slide the sprocket on, essentially reversing it and having the gear further out, not ideal but I'm thinking it will still hold on fine, thoughts?

I went from a 15 to a 17 tooth using the stock chain. I had to grind off a tab on the inside of the cover for it to fit back properly. that may be part of your problem. kind of a dumb question, but the chain is the same size, right?

It's an oring chain so it is wider. Only problem I see is that the tab I would have to grind off is the engine side, not the cover as I've seen with others. Not exactly sure what's on the other side! As far as chain as I understand it's correct and it fits the sprockets just fine, but being oring it is wider.
