I think squeezing the powerlinks together as you push on them helps.

until I remembered the pull-out rebound adjuster in my RS forks was the right size.

Genius! I think that may solve my problems too …

The Alien doesn't have a 2.5m allen key, IIRC.

Pretty sure mine does, but it is quite short and was difficult to access the two 2.5mm bolts I needed it for.

Personally, I don't like the fiddly nature of tightening bolts up with a multitool (some bolts are much easier than others, obviously). I'm inclined towards individual allenkeys, and these look like a quite compact arrangement:

I could ditch the 10mm out of that, and everything is covered.
