Okay so I followed the DIY instructions on the TB process and marked tdc on piston 1 (crank and rear cam tdc as well) but after pulling the pin on the auto tensioner and 6 cranks later EVERYTHING is off by 1 tooth now! Is this a case where I start back over from step 1 and remove and find a way to re-pin the auto tensioner? Or would this be okay since everything is technically in sync, just the timing belt itself is advanced 1 tooth everywhere. Pics included. PLEASE HELP!

Timing marks are right on. You're good. I don't know why people even bother to mark the belt....
Waste of time marking the belt as when the engine is turned to check alignment, the belt marks will never line up again as one side is longer than the other when installed.
As long as the marks on the cams and crank are aligned, you're good to go.
