05 4runner timing belt problem.

I have replaced my timing belt and all the marks line up except the 2 marks on the timing belt that are for the cam gears. The crank, left and right cam gears are all lined up but I cant seem to get the marks on the belt to line up with the cam gears. Should I worry about these marks? They are on off by 1 tooth to the right.

You are using as Toyota does:
Right = passenger side
Left = driver side

No, driver side is left.

Toyota uses right and left on the engine as if you are sitting in the driver seat looking forward.

Thus:

Radiator
Left...................Right
Driver Side..........Passenger side

Thank you. I went back to read the manual and noticed that in the pictures. Flipped the belt around and it went together smoothly!!!
