Is it me or should this fit better?

Try rotating the engine around to TDC and reinstalling it.

I had the same problem this week as well. The slot on the cam and the tool lined up perfect but the engine casting interfered with the tool a bit. I tried using a file but the one I had was crap so I just tightened the cam lock down and it deformed the edge of the casting enough to sit flush. It looks like you had a bit more interference than I though.
