I was able to get this mystery solved so I'll share the solution to any other noobs like myself that run into this issue. After setting the timing chain in its correct position I would suggest to zip tie the chain somewhere that prevents it from falling off the crank gear, I chose to tie it to the power steering reservior. Then I installed the oil pump, using vice grip I maneuvered the crank around then lined up the slots on the crank and spacer to slip it on. Well that's the secret. The fsm doesn't decribe this process in the timing chain section so hopefully this helps someone.
