Advice needed - timing chain

Long story short, I'm replacing an engine on a 96 2500 silverado. going through gaskets and "easy" stuff now that I have the used replacement engine on the stand. while doing the timing chain and cover..when I put the new chain back on, the dots line up on the gears, but the teeth were ever so slightly off. I'm talking like 1/16" or so. the points of the teeth didn't quite line up. is this going to cause trouble? I haven't pulled the distributor at all and probably don't plan to. I did line up the dots when removing the old chain and gear...damn I had hell pulling the cam gear sprocket. my puller kept rotating the engine, so I had to keep taking it off and rotating til the dots lines up, then try again til I finally got it.
