I'm afraid there's not much room for adjustment in this case. If you realign everything, that is going to affect primarily your exhaust camshaft and that's independent on the variocam. The variocam units adjust the intake camshafts only and there is no adjustment there. So, unless your long chains are badly stretched out or your chain has skipped a tooth already, you will find that the alignment is fine. But that does not mean the post variocam alignment is good, and that can't be adjusted.

It's worth checking though, inspect the timing and let us know what you find.
Another thing you can try there is to inspect the chain pads with a borescope through the cam alignment holes. There's very little room to do this and you have to play a lot until you find the right angle, but that can give you a hint about the condition of the pads.
Good luck!
