It connects right where it's at, I believe. Looks like the ball & socket popped out of the timing advance lever.

You have put it in the right location, the nylon remains of the clip are just not holding it properly. You likely need to get a new connector from a dealer. I would do both ends of the rod so you don't have the problem again.

Looks to me like somebody welded a washer to the powerhead? Did something break and needed some jury rigging?

If the hole in the washer is the same as the original hole in the timer base arm, should not be a problem. The new joints comes with the bearing part that fits in the hole.
