Icon4 D16z6 won't start after redline :(

Hello, I've been driving stupidly rough (redlining it) in my honda civic eg8 (1993) with a d16z6 engine
While on the redline it just went off and I managed to get it home with some help.
I checked for spark and it was there, I can smell the fuel on the spark after cranking
The ignition distributor is in it's place (its marked) so maybe the timing belt jumped a tooth or two but I'm not sure
Here are photos of the timing, but still I don't know if it's lined up right because according to this video
it's advanced.
Help much appreciated

You have only showed the timing marks at the cam gear... what about the TDC mark on the crank pulley in relation to the lower timing cover ?

kneel down lower and take a better photo of the cam gear. From that angle, it's hard to tell.
