Timing chain tool

I am currently changing the timing chain on my 2010 Mini Cooper S and the tool that I bought to lock the cams does not fit. Does anyone have a timing tool for an n14 engine that they would be willing to part with?
Thanks!

Why doesn't it fit? Does it hit the turbo?
If, so you need to grind off the tab hitting the turbo.

That was my first thought but the cam locks won't fit over the cams.

Sometimes the cams can be slightly rotated and you need a wrench to turn them slightly. Can you post pictures of your tool and how you are trying to install it on the car?
