What is the purpose of the (2) plated links on the timing chain and if all the mating marks are lined up correctly on the gears, what difference does it make where the plated links are on the timing chain.

Your are right. The plated links are just an aid to help during chain replacement. If the timing marks on the sprockets are aligned properly, it makes no difference.
