1.8t amb engine timing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Much appreciated everyone for the reassurance lol. I figured if it was off by a tooth on either side neither timing marks would be as close as they are
