Have you ensured proper alignment of the timing marks on the camshafts and the crankshaft? Once these are aligned, put the main timing chain on the top cams first and ensure the colored links are in place, then carefully line the crank sprocket and chain up, hold this in place and then put the chain tensioner, with tensioner guide, in. Then put the secondary guide on the other side of the motor on and relieve the tensioner. It's finicky but once you get the hang of it, it'll become a nice technique to master.
