Should the driver's side cam sprocket line up with the cam sensor at TDC (#1)?

We now have all valve springs and both cams changed in my car. Again, as stated in other posts we used the AFM Cam Chain Retention tool. Since it allows you to pull the cams without removing the front cover, I want to make sure we didn't somehow jump a tooth or something.

I think everything is fine from looking at pics from Modular Depots 4.6 Timing article and their PI cam-swap article. The passenger side I know is good, what I need to know is that when the engine is at #1TDC if the pointer/trigger on the cam sprocket should be pointing at the cam sensor in the front of the head. Its really hard to tell in the pictures in the Haynes manual because whoever took pics of the sprockets for that book took them at wierd angles.
