Hard to explain,
Need to have slack in the chain, use the next link in line to help get it started.
Pivot the chain to where the clip will lay flat in position. Now straighten out the chain using the next link to push the clip on. Finish with a wedge, flat blade screwdriver will work, to take up the space between the links and push the clip home.
I could have put 5 together in the time it took to explain this.

first the side plate needs to be all the way on, squeeze it down using vise grips, a small nut placed over the pin of the link helps, do a little on each pin working each side until the loop in the clip will slide into the groove of the pins then place the clip into posistion and squeeze it on with pliers
