It really makes no difference if the the cam marks are dot to dot or both dots straight up, one full turn of the crankshaft, and they will line up dot to dot.

Check the timing. They might have put it to the stock timing for the year of the car.

May have to pull intake to see if intake gasket for that side was installed crooked or slipped.

Also, might pump in shop air into cylinders and listen for leakage, if you could pump in smoke along with the air, could really find the leak.

Smoke leak detection is great in finding intake leaks.
