Default 2005 lexus rx330 timing belt replacement

I need help. I started replacing my timing belt and before I removed the old belt I set the crank pulley to TDC and checked the right camshaft and it was aligned with the timing mark on the timing cover however I did not check the location of the left camshaft. When I went to install new belt I saw that the left camshaft was at approximately the 9 oclock position and not at the 12 oclock position. I am having a hard time finding the timing mark on the cover for the left camshaft. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s a pic i got on a search.
You can use the marks on the new t-belt as well.
I think thats easier.

Hey thanks for the pic. I will try and find the mark. I wonder if I should have made another revolution with the crank pulley before I took the belt off. I assumed the left camshaft pulley would have been aligned when the crank and right camshaft pulley was aligned. Question is how should do I fix it.
