More force is always the answer.
Was it stiff after you'd joined it or from new? Seems odd that you've swapped in a quick link and it's still an issue, unless of course you missed the actual stiff link or joined in the quick link with a pin and it's your joining that's causing the stiffness. Try the side bend again and check that the pin in your chain tool is straight and you've equalised the pin on both sides of the chain.
