Timing Marks Don't Line Up

Hello, I'm replacing the timing chain on my '88 300e and the timing marks don't line up. The key in the crank is straight up and down but the mark on the cam is off to the left (a little arrow pointing towards a small hole). As y'all can tell, I'm sorta new at this but I'm gonna be good!

Should I turn the crank alone to make the new chain match the sprockets exactly and leave the cam timing mark alone?

Should I turn the camshaft so that the timing mark is straight up and down?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
