Default timing belt.. backwards?!?

My mechanic (also my Brother - certified dodge mechanic) says he might have put timing belt in backwards (as in the side that is supposed to be facing left, is facing right and vice versa). I dont want him to have to do the whole job over again unnecessarily.

Anyone know what the symptoms would be, if any? I do have the codes P0016, P0018 (Camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor correlation) and of course a check engine light. Otherwise the vehicle is running great, no timing issues that I can notice.

Thank you!
This is a 2006 GX470 4.7L V8 2UZ-FE engine.

A timing belt is a timing belt...doesnt really matter which way it goes on. Whats important is that the timing is correct when its put on. Have to line up the marks on the cams...
