As you can see the links don't sit exactly right on the driver so it's chklong chklonging when pedaling and it's bothering me to no end
I tried correcting the alignment by moving the sprocket everywhere from dangerously close to the frame to comically far away from it but no luck
I also tried moving the wheel left and right in the dropouts but no luck either
I tried less tension, more tension, same problem
It keeps chklong chklonging
Should I just get a half link chain and move on ?
Thanks
Why is my chain chklong chklonging ?

Half link won’t solve it any either. It’s a chain alignment issue, it’s might have to just be run in till it’s settled if assuming you can’t get the alignment any closer, which has become an issue now on many bmx setups annoyingly
Probably a combination of too tight and the front chain ring has too many spacers behind it. Try mounting it with the thinnest spacer you have between the chainring and bottom bracket.
See if the chain runs straight from the chainring to the hub or if the chainring runs too close to the frame, for example. Because the chain runs at an angle, pressure builds up, which destroys the chain over time.
