That all looks OK to me, one thing to check, I can't see the dimple on your inlet sprocket. Is it like this?

Judging by the position of the cam lobes, I reckon the only place it can be is under the paint....

I bought the chain from Fensport a BGA kit. The vvt sprocket had no dimple so i counted 11 teeth inclusive anticlockwise from
the marked chain link (same as old vvt sprocket that had a dimple) and put a dot of white paint as marker on that tooth.

Yep, I only asked because there's  something that looks a little suggestive of a dimple on the tooth below.
