Answer
Hi
What was the reason for the timing chain replacement?
Did it break while driving?
Maintance? Rebuild?
If the Cam sprocket was at 6:00 oclock
and the crankshaft sprocket was at 12:00 oclock then it was correct.
I would then run a compression test to make sure no valves are bent.

Make sure the cam sensor is correct.
Just advice.
If needed follow post back.
Good Luck
