Exhaust cam is on the intake side unless you were trying to do that? Also it looks like the exhaust side(Intake cam) is one tooth off and needs to be rotated one tooth to clockwise? Could just be me but for starters your cams appear opposite.

At least on my engine and a couple others Green = Intake Orange = Exhaust
