Tudor BB Bracelet issue?

I picked up a delightful Tudor BB GMT recently.. that was originally sold as watch with Nato... but seller had the watch on Tudor bracelet... it was a bit lose, and the bracelet was awfully hard to get off..

I have been wearing the watch with other straps.. and just now went to put back on the bracelet with new pins (figured can't hurt since previous pins were almost impossible to get off) and realized I can't get a 22mm x 1.5mm strap pin through the link on one side... the other side is totally fine...

..as I looked closer they are different sizes!... and the link is loose, looks like Tudor built this bracelet with the top link backwards! -Is that a thing? Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas how one would go about fixing this, or flipping the link- there isn't a screw.

I'm new to all this, pretty shocked that I was sold this without disclosure and now I get to figure out how to remedy it... any help is very welcome, thank guys.

Looks like one might have a sleeve in it.

I see why you'd say that, in real life it isn't so, the weird thing is how much play there is in that link. Seems pretty clear that the link is flipped, which is crazy. Headed to the AD today to see what they think...

The better replica Black bays come on a Convincing rivet bracelet. Perhaps the bracelet is not genuine? Hard to believe Rolex let that one slip out the door. I am afraid to buy a used bracelet for mine.
