Timing belt question

I accidentally moved the passenger side cam pulley to the 3:00 O'clock position when putting on a new timing belt. The driver's side cam pulley remains at the 12:00 O'clock position as does the crank shaft pulley. Question can I rotate the passenger side cam pulley counter clockwise back to 12:00 or can I rotate the pulley clockwise 1 rotation. Thanks in advance for the help. The engine is a 3.4l 5vz-fe

I will reply to my own post. Talked to a Toyota mechanic today. The engine is a non interference type as I knew so you can spin the cam pulley either direction to line up the timing marks. So I will go with that.

Hey Scatpac, how did your engine run once you made the adjustment?
