The side plate is a slip fit on the pins. The catch is that O-ring or X-ring chaings need the rubber rings to be compressed enough to get the clip on. I use a pair of small Vise Grips to gently squeeze the side plates together. You can put the clip on one pin and reposition the pliers to let you get the clip on the other pin. Of course put the clip on so the open end is trailing when the chain moves (closed end toward engine with clip at top of chain loop, toward tail light when it's at the bottom of the loop).
I expect there are other ways to do it too.
