Is the cam and crank locked in place with the correct tools ?

If so then that looks good the marks will rarely be perfectly in line with the head.

Yes both pins are locked in,i must say though when I put the crank pin in its not easy to get the cam pin in it does not just fall in I have to remove the cam lock tab and wiggle the cam and then I can push it in.this sound right

As long as you have the crank and cam locked you should be good to go. Remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over by hand a few times to make double sure nothing is hitting or binding.
