If you set the sprocket to the "correct" mark, it would be retarded and defeat the purpose that AMG mofified the sprocket to advance the cam.
Also it would move the sprocket half of one tooth (5 deg). Each tooth (36 teeth) is equal to 10 deg. Therefore the "correct" mark is NOT achievable.
More to the point perhaps, the following link from the Mercedes Worksheet says NOT to use the marks at the head level for AMG engine.
