Default Engine not working properly after changing timing belt and chain tensioner 1.8T

Hello!
This is my first thread here.

I recently replaced timing belt and chain tensioner on my 1.8T 02 audi a4 and got some problems with starting, namely the car shakes when putting to D or R (automatic transmission) and an error code appeared P0012 and never came back after I deleted it.
To replace the timing belt, I decided to dismantle the bumper, remove the radiator, unplug the plugs and drain the coolant to have easier access. I took some pictures of how I installed and adjusted timing.. If anyone could give me advice on where to start diagnosing the problem and what could be the problem, I would be grateful.

Crankshaft

Camshaft (exhaust)

Cmashaft (Intake)

should be 16 rollers between both cams

Recheck the timing belt position

Any particular reason why you changed the cam chain tensioner out? Typically non-OEM ones fail early or don’t work properly. If you used an aftermarket one in, I suggest changing the pads over to your original one and putting it back in.
