940 B200FT engine timing

Hi I'm looking for advice on the following mistake.
Have replaced the crankshaft rear oil seal but replaced the flywheel in the wrong position so timing was out. Tried to start the car a few times but it wouldn't start. Flywheel now correctly aligned and timing ok the engine is running. What potential damage could the misalignment have caused and % of probability.
TIA for your help.

None at all, no matter which possible orientation you put it.

Could it have damaged the valves?

Nope, it has nothing to do with the physical timing of the valvetrain, it is just a way to give the crank sensor the signal to tell the ECU when the engine is at TDC for cylinder #1.

Thanks 360Beast. Info much appreciated. I'm a lot happier now.
