they go in the cam caps on the cylinder 1 side of the engine. you have to align the hole on the cams.

I think I have it line up for the most part. It looks like they might be off a hair but not a tooth or anything, is that fine???

This is what a friend of mine said to do,

don't even take the lower t-belt covers off. Take the vave cover and upper t belt covers off. Set the crank so the white mark lines up with the arrows on the lower t belt cover. Then set the cams at TDC....slide t belt on, rotate engine CCW 3 teeth so the t belt tensions, then tighten back up the tensioner

There is a hole covered by a rubber tab that gives you access to the tensionor bolt. It is a tight fit, but much easier than removing the bottom cover.
