No you need to have the shaft pin locked into the first opening. The cover will not hit the shaft lock.
The kid I bought it from had been using it like that for a few years. I guess I should have put my glasses on and really looked at it.
Easy mistake. Everyone's done it once.
I figured something was put together wrong. I just bought it but got no instructions. If I don't find a pair of reading glasses I can't see anything. Getting old ain't for wimps.
You can download a manual from Garrett for free, here: Garrett Hobby Owners Manuals
They describe exactly this detail in the manual, under assembly. :-)
Good luck with your ATP! I don't regret buying mine for a minute.
