For that reason, you will see misalignment of the marks in the cam sprockets for one position of the crankshaft at #2 piston TDC.

What year is your engine?
If pre 2008, read this:

that exact same thing happened to me , i already adjusted the in and ex mark facing the cylinder head surface and with 33 links visible , i found out the previous owner swapped the intake cam to the exhaust cam so i have to remove everything.

i double checked everything tried to turn the crank no loud bangs , all rocker arms in place , all have play , flywheel in 2T mark , IN/EX mark in head surface , but then it failed to start now , not even a Sputtering when turning the choke on , i checked the carb bowl if its getting fuel by removing the drain screw and lots of fuel came out , i dont wanna give up now but i feel so tired and sad but tomorrow i will double check everything .... i have this huge feeling that i messed up the timing because there is a serial number in the flywheel that looks like a 2T mark, Its actually 21 . and there is also a 2H mark , my cant see that much from the red oil thats covering the flywheel and the sun flaring up above me so my last shot tomorrow
