Default Crank sensor problem

I have a 1996 LT1 and I am running into a problem with the crank sensor. The piece that goes on the crankshaft wont go flush to the timing gear Like I need some sort of spacer. I am using the cloyes double roller timing chain and gears. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
