I agree that the chain is too short. I'd add a couple of links. You can use another quick-link to do that.
My method for figuring out chain length is adjust the derailleur without the chain on it, then I move the derailleur to the biggest cog and the front derailleur to the biggest chainring, then I feed the chain over the cog and chainring and check that the derailleur cage is no more than 45 degrees. I then join the chain with a quick-link and check to be sure the chain is not too long. For me this way takes out all the guesswork.
Cheers
