I like to pull #1 plug, turn engine over, use my finger or piece of paper to verify compression stroke (air rushes past) and then watch the piston travel to the top, as soon as the piston reaches to top of its travel and starts to drop you stop. Look at balancer and confirm you are at TDC, then drop in cam synch

NOW with that said, as long as you get the cam synchronizer on the correct tooth on the camshaft with the flag aligned, then the angle it sits at in the engine is not critical.
You should get a cam timing code (few drive cycles), high idle, or misfire, sometimes a long crank is cam synch is off a tooth or 180 out
