Looking at the picture of your cam sprockets and chains the silver links should be over the dots on the sprockets, and you may want to replace those chains anyway along with the pads to tighten up the valve timing on this side, which leads to the other side...
One thing Jake brought up on an earlier post, when you put on the cam cover use the sealant sparingly. I found the recommended 1 mm bead is more than enough. There is a small drain back hole for the cam oil pressure that you have to be careful not to plug with sealant. If you do plug that hole, the plug in the end of the cam shaft blows off. search "Exxon Valdez" in this forum for more information.
Before assembly I cleaned the sealing surfaces first with acetone, then with brake cleaner - so far no leaks. Keep going!
