J/K, Good call though. At least 10 people have looked at these gears and did not notice the flaw in the manufacturing process. I finally studied them last night and was like "wait a minute, WTF?!".

I have contacted Fidanza twice about the dowels. They stated there is no difference in what dowel holes you set the gears in as long as you line them up with the corresponding marks on the valve cover if you use the DSM settings.

Good to know. Figured it was designed that way on purpose, but never really looked further into it.
As far as defect from the Fidanza, I have a set of Red ones that a few teeth on the one gear appear to be off. What is now happening is the corners of the gear are wearing away. Now the timing belt has a little wear, and will need replacing sooner than needed. Stock cam gears perfect without wear, and timing belt looked new when these were installed.

It's not one the side that 'pulls' the timing belt but obviously a defect. Now the timing belt has a little wear, and will need replacing sooner than needed. Stock cam gears perfect without wear, and timing belt looked new when these were installed.
