2015 Ford Fiesta SE

I recently did a water pump replacement on a 2015 Ford fiesta. The first time everything went well started right up, but the shitty gasket I got with the pump happened to be slightly out of place and it leaked a little. So I got a new gasket, tore it all back apart and fixed it. For the timing, I did use a cam locking tool. But I had to take it off at one point, and the cam gear closest to the firewall shifted back from around 12-1oclock position to around 10. I ended up using my hand and manually twisted it back to 12-1 position as the other one , and proceeded putting everything back together. When I went to put tension on the belt there was a little slack in the opposite side of the tensioner pulley from under the cam gear towards the bottom crank. When I did put tension on it everything tightened back up nicely. I hand cranked it around about 3 times and the marks I made for 12oclock lined up perfectly I think. I put everything on, filled up with water went to start and it just keeps cranking no fire. Any help would be appreciated. Also tips on the stretch belt would be helpful. It is a pain even with the tool and I've mangled the belt with zip ties Everytime. It would be preferred if I didn't have to take the cam cover off. So once again, any help is appreciated to get my car back running again.
