I doubt it jumped time. The tolerance is so close that the valves would most likely hit the piston.

You can check cam alignment by removing both valve covers. Line up the right cam (US driver side) mark and compare with the left. They should be close. Ideally they should both align. Then look at the timing marks on the balancer. More than 10 degrees is out of spec. and a sign that the chain guides are worn, chain stretched, cam sprockets worn and weak tensioner.

Removing the timing chain cover requires either removing the engine or supporting the engine and dropping the front subframe.
