Is this chainring the wrong size for the chain?

Swapping cranks on my 1x8, but the chain is not fitting onto the chainring properly - its super snug and once you get about 1/2 around it stops fitting into the teeth, and the links that do drop in often jam up and don't pull off.
Here's a pic of what I mean where it stops lining up:
I'm trying to put on a Origin8 SS crankset - the one I received 2 weeks ago ended up being a 1/8 chain version - I didn't notice that when buying it and I had THIS exact problem. I realized I hadn't ordered the 3/32 chain version, so I found it on amazon, ordered it. It arrived, and the box says 3/32 as well (the UPC/price tag does anyway). But as you can see I am having the same problem.
Did I get sent another 1/8 version in a mislabeled box? Is that even the problem? What would cause this?
For reference I am using the same chain I was using before with the previous crank without issue, which is a Sugino RD2; which is 3/32.
I just want to get this bike finished so I can sell it. Send help.
Thanks

Your chain is knackered.1

All speed chains are the same link length, only the width changes between speeds. As Les says, chain looks worn, and needs replacing.
Do you have a chain tool to measure the wear?0 -
Yes, a standard chain link spacing (pitch) is 1/2" however...
Taking a closer look at the pic the chain (pitch) appears to be too short!
Pull the chain taught, take your steel rule and measure a dozen pairs of links, it should equal 12"
