It looks like about 2 degrees advanced. Should not be a problem. Have you run the engine?
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

05 May 2022 14:31 - 05 May 2022 14:32Don´t know the 650 specs but on Z1/KZ900How far does 1 tooth move the mark (sometimes if everything is lined up perfectly as you tension the chain the cams rotate) which can leave you a tooth out
15 tooth on crank and 30 tooth on cam sproket = gear ratio 2 to 1 = 48 degrees (2 tooth) on crank are 12 degrees (1 tooth) on cam sprocket.
As hardrockminer supposed, your TDC is 5 degrees advance on the crank = 2-3 degrees on cam = no problem.
Without a degree wheel and adjustable cam sprockets you can´t adjust the cam chain wear/stretch.

Thanks everyone. Just eyeballing it the difference equates to around 1/4 tooth on the cam sprocket, at most. I haven't fired it up yet. Hopefully this weekend. Just got the valve cover back on last night.
