If that doesn’t help. It’s the item 32 that’s broken then? Well I’ll try to adjust the cam pointing up
NO!!!! That's just pure guesswork!

You need to check item #32 in that diagram by removing the cam pulley bolt and ensuring it is still there and intact.
Once the bolt is out, you should find a large washer behind it that will cover the end of the roll pin (spring pin) and you may be able to see straightaway that the pin is missing by not being able to look further than the back of the pulley into the end of the cam shaft.

Do you have any Loctite Threadlock? Clean and degrease the cam pulley bolt and add a couple of drops to the bolt threads before final refitting of the cam pulley bolt to ensure the bolt doesn't work loose in service.
