It may be the chain has stretched a little so that the mark is behind (retarded) the place it should be? If Aukeboss says this is normal I'm sure he's right.
If you were being keen you could put a degree disk on the crankshaft, mark where TDC is and then note at what angle the valves just open and close and compare this to the cam timing in the manual.
Putting it on one tooth out from where it was will make a difference to the cam timing and engine performance.
Always do what you have done: check it turns over ok by hand before you boot it into life.
