The key is floating and it’s easy to push it back if you don’t get the a lot lined up

Crank pulley key should be a tight fit. If its floading about then the engine may well have been run with a loose pulley in the past and its hammered the keyway out, more of a problem with the heavy triple pulley that has to be torqued up to c.350Nm
