There is no gasket between the cam thrust plate and block If that’s the part I’m thinking of in your posts that would cause the cam gear to be forward and proud of the crank gear. The cam thrust plate is completely inside the engine there is no concept of trying to keep the oil on one side or another of that part. So no gasket on cam thrust plate You push the cam gear on as far down as you can without pinching the thrust plate and the crank gear is pressed on as far down as it can be on the crank and then everything should line up nice.
I stick a metal shim about 0.01 under the cam gear when I press it on, pull that shim out and that a good place for the the cam gear -s
