1- crankshaft at the 40 degrees
2- checked the piston at tds or just after tdc as they call it
3- but the chains on the centre figure all on the mark , crankshaft mark on chain mark on the gear, centre figure mark on the chain mark on the gear, left bank chain as well with centre figure on mark, right chain too , tighten the centre figure now
4- but the chains on the camshafts matching the marking accordingly , the camshafts adjusters marking and the chains marking
5- deploy the timing chain tensioners
6- check the signal plates marking at the back the alignment is perfect with the heads , I even checked them with the tool to check them the little half circul tool to check the signal plates, and they all good but one didn't go with the tool even though the marking on it goes perfectly aligned with the head it was the right intake camshaft
6- now but back the head covers
7- rotate the engine to 53 degrees which is 17mm after the 40 degrees if you don't have them on the crankshaft wheel , so I but it to 53 degrees to check the timing through the holes of the timing sensors and the signal plates NOT SHOWING HALF ON THE HOLES
I turned the engine again to 53 degrees just in case and no good tried over again and again no good
So I did the timing again from the beginning and same thing no good timing
I have no idea what to do and I if there is anything to do or to try I would do it just to get half plate on the sensor hole .
If anyone have some advice please do

Going on a limb to say have you checked the camshaft adjusters, the actually gear mechanism? Knowing they can “slip” and slightly change timing. Have you seen or heard of this, there are videos around. Hopefully you didn’t rotate in the wrong direction or without tensioners in as that can cause a slip as well based on the routing of the chain. Good luck
