First of all, a newbie would never open up an engine to check valve timing, so you're definitely not one.
Secondly, it's difficult to gauge how far off the markings are from that angle.
What you need to do is back off the tensioner and move one cam by one tooth to see if the markings align better. Keep in mind that the markings rarely align perfectly, they just need to be close, so choose the alignment that brings them as close as possible.
