I think you're right. As a perfectionist, I tend to overthink a lot. This is a hell to me, since I'm always afraid to mess the car/bike I'm working. Thanks for the reply

actually, i recall the intake cam lobe closest to the camera should be at the 4 o'clock position. you sure you're timed correctly?
if in doubt, google is your friend.

About the marks, my model is assembled in Brazil, so, here they doesn't have those white dots like others I've seen on Google. But, the EX and IN lines are marked light blue, the outside marks that should align to the engine head.
Also, they're timed just like this:
The EX mark on the exhaust cam to the outer left and the IN mark on the inlet cam to the outer right. The crank is at the 2T mark.
