Alright today I decided to change out my headgasket. Everything went good until I tried to put it to TDC. I could only find one shiny link after about 50 turns. Someone told me to just put any 2 on top with the dots and you should be fine. Not fine as I found out.

Anyways I am trying to put everythng back together because I am too scared to move on but I cant get this sprocket back on. The longer cam is misaligned with the shorter one. To make matters worse I dont know how to put the timing chain tensioner back on. Please someone help me put this back together. I am never doing something like this again.
I havent took out my cas yet so I think I am good. I started to take out the cam, but I never moved it. Can someone tell me how to put the sprocket back on and how to get the tensioner back on. Thanks
