no thats wrong. the cam marks should be pointing up. and dont take notice off that bottom needle mark as inaccurate sometimes, take the bottom pulley off and line that notch with the oil pump

will it have damaged the valves or anything like that? When I take the bottom pulley of do I line the notch behind it up with the needle?

no the bottom notch will be right at the bottom off the pulley and will line up with oil pump. was it running like that or has the belt slipped?

As said above, cam pulleys pointing up, in line with the marks.
Turn it over by hand first to make sure it's set up right and doesn't damage the valves.
