If you set the electric phaser to the extreme left position ( turn it counterclockwise), and then put on the timing chain and try to turn the engine, then the phase regulator has a free play, the camshaft first stands still and only then starts moving. Is this how it should be?
You line the keyway up with the mating surface of the #1 main cap and the block. As long as your timing dots line up when you install the chain you’re fine

you didn't time the oil pump balance shafts that's going to have a vibration
I never took the oil pump chain off….
