Why not use a washer or aluminum plate screwed secured by 3 screws (drilled & tap 3 small blind holes into the plate) the sealer & pressure on the retainer on the outer side of the seal will make a secure & safe professional repair to your problem.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: re-drive question for Tracy
Hi Buly,
I have a sort of unique situation that wouldn't apply to most anyone
else. My MM plate (NOT the one supplied by Tracy) has a slight
problem. The recess for the rear seal was machined a few thousands too
large. The seal was not a press fit so I agonized over what I was
going to do with it (last year sometime) and finally decided to hold
the seal in place with Proseal. I don't think there is a lot of
pressure there, and I don't think it would leak too fast if it did come
loose, but I won't know until it happens. I might be surprised. If it
were to leak, I would prefer to not be pumping engine oil overboard
risking the engine as well as the redrive.
As a side benefit, I suspect the redrive would run cooler if I weren't
pushing hot engine oil thru it. That should be better for the
redrive. If I were to do it, there would be an oil reservoir, pump, and
small oil cooler.
I might mention that I will have at least 15 hours of ground time on
the engine before even thinking of flying it.
