Default Total disaster when trying to change cam belt 2.0d

Hi,
When trying to change the cam belt on my 2008 C70 2.0d, I stupidly took of the right hand side tensioner to get clearance to remove the upper plastic cam cover.

The tensioner is the one on the right side that is not spring loaded and that is sitting in a metal bracket and held on with a long screw to the engine block opposite to the tensioner that is spring loaded.

As a consequence the belt slackened and the crank turned. Not sure if the crank turned clock wise or anti clockwise, and not sure how many teeth it jumped.

I managed to reinstall the tensioner, but when trying to turn the engine over to reach TDC, and lock it in place at the cam and flywheel, after some turns, the engine will not turn any longer because it is out of synch and I guess some cylinder is pressing on to the valves.

How do I solve this problem ?

I removed the starter motor so I see the flywheel coggs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
