I would tell you it's fine but then again I am having a hard time confirming that your cams are straight from the pics, need a closer pic with the camera lens in line with the head and the ruler removed.

Also note that when cams are correctly lined up at 3 and 9 o'clock, the dowel pins for the cams are never straight up at 12 o'clock contrary to what is written in manuals. The intake cam dowel is slightly towards 11 o'clock and the exhaust dowel is slightly towards 1 o'clock.

Also that plate could have a little wear in the keyway slot. If you took it off you would see a little dimple on the balance shaft sprocket which shows you where TDC is without the plate. Also you could stick a long screwdriver into cylinder # 1 and you could visually see the screwdriver reach its highest point at TDC which should match the crank mark.

In regards to setting the tension, forget the vfaq method.

(1)Screw tensioner tool into hole until grenade pin can easily slide in and out of the tensioner. Leave grenade pin in the tensioner and leave the tensioner tool in place.

(2)With everything lined up and at TDC: set tension and then back off the tensioner tool rod. At this point the grenade pin should slide in/out of tensioner easily. If not, screw the tensioner rod back in, reset tension and repeat this procedure until the grenade pin can slide in/out with ease.

(3)Once pin can slide in/out without resistance, remove pin, spin motor over 6 times, wait 15 minutes and grenade pin should slide back into tension at TDC. Remove pin and tensioner rod and you are set.

You can even start the car at this point with just the timing belt on and no other belt, accessories or covers. Just don't do it for long as the water pump isn't spinning

This is how to properly set tension so that the tensioner operates within its usable range.
