Default Cam caps backwards without starting (yes I'm an idiot...)

Tossed in some new springs, and new valve seals. Dropped the cams back in and put all the cam caps back on with assembly lube and tq to spec. Noticed binding. A couple minutes of standing and looking puzzled, to then relies all the cap orientation markings are facing me so I can read them (while still looking at it like an idiot from in front of the car). I rotated everything over by hand lightly. I have now fixed my error and have everything in the original locations and the CORRECT orientation, but my question is do you think I F'ed anything up?

Lol I honestly would have pulled it off and just built the head all the way through this time. This is just getting this engine by this track season really. Once something really let's go I'll spend the bathroom reno budget building a motor...
