it's a taper fit, yes that'll hold it on, if it won't go on like said, clean all surfaces well, retry

a ziplock baggie works also, just with fewer odd looks
Re. Morse taper chuck installation:
Clean the male and female tapers with solvent. I usually use lacquer thinner, brakleen or acetone. Fit the chuck over the taper. With the chuck jaws retracted into the body, I give it a solid whack with a big chunk of lead - like 5#. A lead hammer is good, a deadblow hammer is OK, a big steel hammer and a piece of aluminum is very good.
Chuck should stay on.
