Timing Chain Question!

Well...Thinking i put my Crank Sproket on wrong which is making me hit my rods with the cam. So I put everything together and it still hits. But...my question is. There 3 symbols on my sproket. Cirle, Triangle, and A square. Right now its on the circle. Wat do the 3 symbols mean and is it in the rigght spot or did I just not line it up rgiht? Plz help lol.

One is to retard the cam, one is straight up and one is to advance the cam. Read the instructions with the gear set. It will tell you which one to use for straight up.
