Centerlink install - hard to turn wheel now

IMG_3057.JPG IMG_3058.JPG i re-installed the centerlink after removing to change pan gasket on /6 and now extremely hard to steer car. 1974 Valiant Scamp. All stock. Power steering equiped.

I notice one side of link is stamped "GEAR". Should that be on steering gear (pitman) side? Does it make a difference? It all looked same to me.
