There should be a center in the in the crank, it is used when they grind the crank. A big brass hammer or leather mallet also works well to drive the balancer on. If you bolt an aluminium plate on the face of the balancer you will have a "soft" surface to beat on, not the face of the balancer. Be careful to not hit the outer ring, that will ruin the balancer.
