Question Balancer install depth?

I have a Lq4 shortblock I bought off a member and it has a Dbl roller installed.
Getting ready to install my balancer but it looks like it will press up against the oil pump gear? Does the sprocket and gear need to be pressed on further? I've changed the cam already and it appears that the chain installs fine. Just trying to figure out if I have an issue or not before I install the balancer.

I think I figured it out, if the gears are centered in the oil pump the small lip at the end of the balancer fits between the gears and the drive gears on the crank?

The harmonic damper should push against the oil drive gear, there should be no gap.
