To awaken the Rinnegan Madara needed Hashirama's flesh, not just his chakra. He added that flesh to his chest wound. It healed over and eventually he awakened the Rinnegan in both eyes. Sasuke on the brink of death with a hole through his chest and heart was healed by having Hashirama's Cells pumped into his heart by Kabuto therefor Sasuke was going to awaken the Rinnegan anyway. Hagoromo knew this, and when he let Sasuke use half of his chakra he also somehow turned Sasuke's dual Rinnegan into a Tomoe Rinnegan in his left eye alone. I'm sure if Hagoromo would have just let Sasuke use half of his chakra and not interfered with his eyes Sasuke would have had the normal Rinnegan in both eyes vs Kaguya and at VOTE2. The Tomoe Rinnegan allows him to use his left EMS's techs with the left Rinnegan, thats really the only difference between it and the normal Rinnegan
