I have a 07 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd quad cab and, I just finished rebuilding the engine in step by step exactly how the Haynes Manuel shows. I am having issues with the 2,4,6,8 cylinders misfiring. We swapped out all the sensors, spark plugs, coil packs, and injectors with new ones and, also replaced all three timing chains and tensioners with new ones. When we hooked it up to the computer to check everything and make sure it was running correctly, it showed that the 2,4,6,8 cylinders were misfiring like I said previously. It also shows that the cam shaft sensor is reading that my cam is -29.6 degrees off. Does anyone have any ideaS or advice on how to correct the problem? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated in advance!!

You installed the passenger (right/2 4 6 8) camshaft a tooth or 2 off. EASY to do... Hell of a lot of work to correct!
