Looking at the pic of your IMS bearing, it looks like the flange would slide in OK. Get it started, and then use the 3 bolts to pull it in. If there is resistance, do not proceed, but it looks like you'd be ok. Once the IMS flange is in, put the tensioners back in, and roll the engine over a turn or two and check your timing. If it's in time, consider yourself lucky, if it's not, you'll have to go through the timing procedure to re-time the engine.
