Looks good from what I can tell from the pics but there's only so much that you can see in the pics. Crank it over by hand. Two revolutions of the crank sprocket equals one full turn for the cams. Then make sure it still lines up. I turn it over 2 full cam revolutions. If it's off you will see it after that much.

 

Also, I usually take a screwdriver and pry the tensioner down gently to make sure it has flexed out and is holding the belt well so it wont jump.

Well someone said my driver's side was off by a tooth so which side?  These are my options:

Again, without rotating myself I can't say for sure. Usually #2 is closer since the tensioner will bring it back a bit as the belt tightens.

 

Have you turned it over by hand yet?

it is hard to tell from the pics exactly where the hash mark is.

is it in the white or in the pink?

 

the marks on the belt are a guide to help with install.

but the true test is ...

all 3 sprockets have the hash marks straight up at the same time.

all 3 hash marks at 12 oclock.

 

by the way, one pic shows the belt not on all of the teeth of the sprocket, driver side cam.
