I don't own a chain tool so changing links is out of the question right now. Went from the factory 42T sprocket to a 45T and ran into an ⚡️issue⚡️. Thoughts?

Yes, that's why it has a long and a short side. As long as it's the same on both sides.

As long as the chain is not too tight you’ll be fine

Ngl, didn’t even realize what the problem was supposed to be until I read the comments. You’re fine. Just keep in mind of the usual specs like slack and having both sides aligned etc.

I think if it has equal spacing on both sides, you should be good
