Check it again.

The CEL 1346 points to skipping teeth or a stretched out timing belt.

I agree with Hyper. Not judging but it wouldn't be the 1st. time someone was "certain" something was dead on when it wasn't. Not likely your new belt is "stretched" so I'd look at the timing marks again. A lot of people don't realize the engine slants to the rear so the crank mark doesn't point vertical but rearward.
