It's been some time since I had to fit a cam.and it is tear your hair out time. But once it's done. It's so easy.
Taking that your standing at the rear of the bike. I think you need to   have the chain. Then the sprocket. Slide the cam from the right through the sprocket and chain.
Notice the sprocket has elongated  centre hole. This helps you fit the chain.

A bit of fiddling will enable you to put the chain on the sprocket. Then onto the cam.

Important to make sure you get the timing right.

Sorry I can't be more exact.

But it is not a job I do often

Don't back off the tensioner with the screw, push it fully in from the inside and lock the screw. I presume you have the tensioner located correctly in the pocket in the cases. Check by looking up in the sump. I've fiddled for a while but, when I followed the correct assembly technique it is pretty easy, but the next time I did one I went through the same routine and had to look it up again!
