I believe the OEM tool for the later covers (that fit the seal from the front) was round and had a hole in the center that slid over the crank snout and located in the seal bore. Then the cover was secured, the tool removed and the seal then installed. On the older covers with the seal installed from the back the tool centered on the seal. Without the correct tool, just use the balancer as a guide with the seal installed, and be sure the bottom surface of the front cover is even with the bottom edge of the engine block pan gasket surface then carfully tighten the bolts that attach the cover.
