Please check the attached photos
Thank you in advance.
I think that happens to more than a few people.
I don't know if it will help, but read through this thread if you haven't already:
IMS Install help! IMS bearing not centered

Be very cautious how you proceed. As Flaps10 implied, you will probably have to release all the tension from your cam chains, recenter the shaft, then reset your cam timing. Trying to force anything or taking short-cuts will probably damage your engine and lead to more problems.
