Is this the right set?

I might try to redo the timing with new tool — the new belt and tensioner should okay right?

(Trying to keep the car as long as possible, def worth doing right if I can)
Yep, I would worry about it now
The big black spider thing is also used to set the cam cover correctly, but you can also use the ECU bracket
Turn the crank two turns clockwise,
Still only going clockwise bolt the crank into it locked position
The cam locking tool should now slide into position, or very close, if it does your golden
With the pugs out it should turn over easily with no binding
with the plugs in it should be very difficult to turn over
Start building it back up

Did that timing procedure as you described and the cam locking tool slides in — though it’s not the highest quality tool and it feels like there wiggle room/it doesn’t sit flush (don’t think the tool was manufactured the best)
Like it seems to line up with rotations, but seems like slightly off with the wiggle room
I’ve ordered the set with all the tools and it should get here tomorrow where I can try the timing again if need be

Like the timing lines up with the crank and cam tools but there might be half a tooth to a whole tooth off as of right now

This when when we were putting the belt on with the locking tools we had

Here’s full picture, sorry

I circled the weird wiggle room with the tool, I had doublechecked it was on right
Can you take a photo from the other side
It's possible to fit the cam 180 degrees out

I will as soon as I’m back with the car this evening
This cut out has to be at the top
Red arrow
I believe your is loose because it's upsidedown
I not 100% maybe 75%
I did think it was a stupid idea and did try it upsidedown down and it did fit, memory is a bit foggy but I think it's slack, so you locking tool is probably okay
I will try and find some reference photos I think mine are on here somewhere should be able to work out where the lobs should be pointing

Look at the lobs at the back
You have had it fitted both ways

Only way I know to check or set the cam pulley timing on these keyless assemblies is with everything built up - so head reinstalled on the block and new belt fitted then timing can be checked using the timing tools which lock up the cam (Bar type tool which slots into the "back end" of the cam) and crankshaft ("dumbell" tool). With crank shaft locked the camshaft tool should drop into the slot on the cam. (be aware the cam slot only lines up on every second revolution of the crankshaft so you may need to turn the crankshaft 180 degrees if the cam slot won't line up first time you try) If the cam tool won't slot in then you'll have to slacken the cam pulley and rotate the cam itself until the slot lines up. DON'T TRY TO TIGHTEN THE CAM PULLEY RETAINING BOLT WITH THE CAM LOCKING BAR STILL IN PLACE. because you can break the cam slot if it moves

Thank you so much for this picture
No problem
While mine was apart I did some experimenting, as often people have problem after fitting a new belt
I tried to see if it was possible to fit it 180 out which it is
And whether it would start one tooth advanced, which is the common mistake, which it does, but goes into limp mode
I was going to put some bluetac under the valves measure the clearance in the end I run out of time and energy
As long as you tighten the variator using the correct tool, it will be able to be timed correctly
Not being keyed just means there's 48 possible positions that are correct
The only one I have undone was ridiculous tight, I'm talking a 510mm breaker bar and still struggle
Anyhow fiat use to tight them without a belt fitted

I just got the thermostat housing ready to be put back on and I broke a bolt as I was screwing it in
