YIKES! Camshaft is 10 degrees retarded even with new chain (450 V-8)

The passenger side camshaft is still about 9-10 (crankshaft) degrees retarded even with the new chain (& rails, & tensioner). While I can get offset woodruff keys to compensate, I am concerned; is this indicative of excessively worn sprockets (cam, idler, or what?) or does it implicate something more ominous? The Drivers side cam is right on the money. And no, it is not one tooth off. Should I worry, or “set it and forget it”?

Thank you in advance for your replies!
