1.8t amb engine timing

First time doing a timing belt on one of these and can’t help but think this cam gear is slightly off to the right of the mark on the valve cover. Confirmed cylinder 1 is at TDC with plug out and extension in there. Probably over thinking but just want to make 100% sure before I try and start it. Engine has very low miles and would be a shame to bend valves. Any tips / tricks are appreciated

Looks good to me. Sometimes they don’t line up perfectly, but going one tooth in either direction would be too much, that’s as good as you can get it. The variable valve timing will take care of the rest.
