Default Axle spins after timing belt replaced?

Drive side axle spins after turning on the car and gear is in neutral....this happens after replaced timing belt.
The car is jacked up with the driver side wheel off. Turn on the car...axle spins even in neutral, as soon as the clutch is pressed in, it stops.

Did I screw up somewhere?

I did aligned the TDC marks (cam and crank) before putting on the belt.
Only thing I didn't check was the distributor rotor position. Or does this matter if both cam and crank are aligned accordingly?

It's normal for all honda wheels to spin while off of the ground, running in neutral. All of them do it auto or manual. No problems.
Resume heart beating and breathing.

Thanks for confirming.
First timer doing it. NO experience and therefore seek advice from experts here.
But what's odd is that only driver side spins while pass. side doesn't.
