Need quick advice, in the middle of doing the timing

Ok so every thing is on, When I spun the engine around six times everything lined up perfectly, the timing drive sprocket and both cams. So I put the covers on and the marks on the covers for the cams line up perfectly, the arrow pointing to the crank is off by like a millimeter from the "white" mark on the crank pulley. The thing is though it was like this before I swapped out the belt as well, Even before I changed it, it was off exactly this much. I can tell that the timing sprocket is still dead on inside the cover because the crank is back exactly where it was before, as in the pin that holds on the timing pully is dead on in the middle like it was when the covers were off meaning that the timing pully is also still dead on with the arrow inside the cover. Should I be worried about it since this exactly the same way it was before I took the belt off?

Just replaced the water pump, tensioner, belt, hydrolic tensioner, and the idler.....Im about to torque the crank pulley I pray nothing breaks. I went through 2 sockets, 3 wrenches, two breaker bars, and 4 extensions just to take it off
