I'm having trouble mating the small ball in this assy with the chamfer in the seating hole. (I know I can draw it in place...) Any ideas? Thanks.
It should look like this (old proe assy I'm redrawing).

This is one area that Onshape needs to do a little work yet. However, if I understand your question right, I think you can get what you are after with a cylindrical mate and then a tangent mate, make sure to select an edge from your base part for the tangent mate as a face causes it to fail.
There may be other combinations that would work as well, or perhaps someone has a better idea.
