New balancer won’t press on

Here’s some pics. The balancer slides on by hand. In the last pic you can see the ridge that was factory machined into the balancer and how far past the ridge it slides over the crank snout. Should the timing cover be loose when installing the balancer?

IMO if the damper slips on by hand it's junk already. Here is what ATI recommends.
