If the gaps in cams are horizontal to the head surface @ TDC too, every thing is ok.
but don“t forget to loosen the cam chain tensioner before you put the valve cover on!!!

Seems right, just be sure you are at TDC. Look for the piston through the spark plug hole and double check the 1-4 T mark is aligned.

And needless to say you should double check valve clearance. Bad deal not being to pull the valve cover because it's important to retorque the head after some heat cycles.
