Cam Job on 3V Mustang- Timing Chain rubbing on head and slightly off of guide.

So I am doing a cam job on my 07 Mustang GT and last night I installed one brenspeed Detroit rocker cam and after installing only one cam I decided to turn over the engine by hand to see if everything was fine. It didn’t occur to me that due to the cams being mismatched things could go wrong. However, my issue is the timing chain on the driver side is slightly off of the guide and is rubbing against the head. I made sure to follow all torque specs, and I really am not too sure what’s going on right now. It seems to me like the sprocket is pushed in toward the driver side, which is causing the chain to slip off the guide and I am looking for advice. Let me know any potential fixes or explanations attached our pictures.
