You can probably run that but it looks a few links too short.
Edit: I looked closer and it is definitely too short. Doesn’t appear to engage the upper jockey wheel.

The way to figure out the right length you run the chain around the low gear and your chainring without running it through the derailleur. Check this video at the 4 minute mark. It explains everything.
Question. Others are saying it’s short but looks okay to me, what’s the risk of you run it like that?
I don’t think the chain is experiencing any extra stress compared to an extra 2 links. Quite contrary, the lever the derailleur creates is shorter in this “position” compared to when the chain is a bit longer. am I missing something?
