First time doing heads and cam swap on an ls7. Prc head tsp cam, I lined up the dots and removed cam, removed 4 bolt on block to removed plate install cam all the way in with the pin on cam just sticking out when putting gears on the chain I notice I could not put it on with cam all the way in on the block so I pulled it out just a bit to install cam gear? Is this correct should the cam be pulled out a bit. the plate to hold the cam is on. I looked in the holes for the lifters and they are dead on lines up will the cam. Should it be seated in a different position? Will the cam gear move if cam is not installed correctly? Picture below is how I first installed it but gear would not go on till I moved it back? Picture is not my motor just for refere

Yes you have to pull it a bit it is normal
I did it on mine (it is a ls2) and 2000 kilometers after the install still no issue
As Spacemen1117 said when you will install the gear bolts the cam will find is position itself
Ls7 cam install second guessing my self
