Thanks for the reply!!!

I needed to get it back together so I went to a parts house and looked at both sides and sure enough only one side has the plate.

I have a clicking sound from the engine and found a YouTube showing the plate was removed because it was restricting oil flow . The tensioner was bouncing up and down making the clock, when the plate was removed the tensioner was applying the proper pressure!
If you want to see the video I can post it.
