How to get lube inside completely clean chain?

So I cleaned my chain in my new ultrasonic cleaner. Then, I submerged and soaked the chain in ProLink lube overnight. I patted it dry, to avoid dripping. I installed it on the bike. Then, I applied a drop of ProLink to every link. I rode 12 miles, and heard chain noise, peaking once per crank revolution. I'm convinced it's the chain, and it appears to be coming from where the chain first enters the crank when my right foot is applying most pressure on the down stroke. I then re-applied even more lube. I rode another 20 miles and still more noise. The only thing I can think is the lube is simply not getting inside the chain.

Should I be using a different method to get the lube into the chain after using the ultrasonic? Or a different lube as the base?
