To get it back in time try the following:

If the belt is off, remove all of the plugs and put a dowel or pencil in the #1 sparkplug hole and using a wrench on the crank pulley, gently drop or raise the #1 piston to halfway down. If it hits something move the cam a little.

Once you get the #1 piston to the midpoint, all of the other pistons will be in the middle position and can't hit the valves. Then move the cam gear to the timing mark. Then slowly bring the crank to TDC per the timing mark in the bell housing.

At this point you should be close to in time and can put he belt on and do a fine adjustment.

Don't force anything and you should be fine.
