In the middle of changing above, got old one off and have fitted new one but now cant get TDC marks to line up.Really dont know how or what has moved but am i right in thinking if i move cam to left or right to line up marks this will be ok. Grateful for any help.

Yeah, that's right. As long as all marks line up as they should.
Best to then tighten everything and turn the engine a few revolutions by hand with a socket on the crank pulley and make sure it's all still in line.
