2002 Durango Timing Chain adventure

I took a job to replace the timing set on a 2002 Dodge Durango with a 4.7 V8.
It all went together fine. I put the motor at top dead center and removed all the chains, tensioners and installed the new parts in their place. All the timing marks lined up correctly and the gears all where in the same place as the old ones and the motor had not moved. After putting it all back together it was hard to start. (Takes a lot of cranking) and it threw 5 codes. I clear the codes and they return the second the motor is cranked again. The codes are as follows;
P0016 - Cam/Crank pos. Correlation Sensor A - Bank 1
P0344 - Camshaft pos. Sensor A – CKT intermittent
P0340 - Camshaft pos. Sensor A – Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction
P0700 - Trans Control System Malfunction
P0562 - System Voltage Low
The P0562 - System Voltage Low was due to the battery going low from the hard start and is gone after charging the battery. And the trans (P0562) code is not my problem.
I did replace the cam sensor just to see if maybe I hurt it while doing the job but with the new one it does the same thing and spits out the same codes.
Any thoughts would be great as I have the customer breathing down my neck now. I guess maybe something could have moved a tooth but I was sure that everything was perfect or I would have never cranked an interference motor. If I can keep from taking it back apart that would be great, so anyone have ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck

did you replace the cam gear? if so are the slots in the gear the same as the old one for the cam sensor
