When the upper timing chain meets its mating mark does the lower chain also meets it mating mark?
Because I got a new timing chain kit from advance Auto but every time the top meets its mark the bottom does not as you can see in the picture.

This is a diagram of where the marks should be.
I cannot see the mark on that bottom gear, can you retake that photo and shine the light there? Did anyone or anything explain to you why there are there marks on each of them top gears and how you know which to use? be cause I do not read that.
