Cool Help with timing chain install with pics

ok. I'm putting the chains back on, and yes, there are 'darker' links on each chain. however, they are not on exact opposite ends. I have 63 connecter links, with does not divide in half. so the only way to put the chain on with equal amounts of links on either side with the timing mark on the cam gear being the dividing line, is to put a connecting link on either side of that timing mark. will this work? hopefully the pics will help clarify.

Let me guess, you have a 5.4? The mark on the cam goes between the 2 dark links and the single dark link goes on the crank.
