Timing chain dislocated while assembling -Ugh?

I'm assembling my 2.4 and I'm at the cam and chain tenssioner stage. I noticed the engine would not turn a full 360 degrees like it did before and found the the chain was half off the intermittent sprocket. After trying a bit to free it up, it's now 100% off the sprocket. Is there a trick to get it to hope back on the sprocket? I think, if I take off the chain box, I may be able to maneuver it back on but don't want to buy and wait for a new gasket for the cam holder ring. I'm hoping, when my wife comes home from work, her tiny hands can fit down in there and re-position it. Till then???? It must have happened in the past, huh? After loading this pic, it seems like such a simple thing. But, my phone will go inside the chain box and get a good view. My head can't. Thanks...
