Have you pulled the other two tensioners completely from the engine? Were you on TDC when you began the procedure?

I am certainly not disagreeing with you there - should have at least ordered proper set screws. I followed the Pelican Parts guide that uses set screws and doesn't call for starting from TDC.
I was not on TDC when I began the procedure. I initially removed both tensioners completely, though they are now partly screwed in.

Flange is partly broken because I cut off the nut that was attached to it outside of the engine case. I was not able to rotate the nut with respect to the flange and eventually cut it off because the flathead end of the flange was stripped.
