Do you have a Factory Shop Manual for your car?
I am pretty sure you do not... or have not read it.
The FSM , which I have quoted many times on this subject, says that the cam tower marks are only for the initial assembly of the engine.. not to be used for this kind of measurement. That is why it explains how to do the 2mm method.
You really need a FSM to work on your engine....because it has lots of WARNINGS which never get posted when only using a forum...
