340 cast crank harmonic balancer stops on crank- help!

Hi all- I'm finishing my 1972 340 build and balancer seems to stop at the 'step' in the barrell of the balancer. My engine block is cast '72, the crank is cast. I bought this balancer separately. I don't want to start forcing things, hoping you smart mopar folks can advise me. Thanks!!!
