Well got it finally had to rotate cam 180 too
Now running like a top however i may have to re adjust the tensioner bolt again i notice while running abit of flop in the belt between oil pump and crank sproket
Or is that normal? Kinda floppy at low speeds

This type of belt has a lower tension than a friction belt.
If the belt was to stretch, then the teeth would miss the slots on the gears.
Just something to consider, I can't see how much flop you are seeing.

Too bad, the file was a copy of the Toyota manual for replacing the timing belt.

Glad to hear it is running!

when i did mine first time i could even hear the belt totally flopy when I accelerate a bit... and the "too tight" sound is really easy to identify, just check on youtube "belt too tight" or something and you'll find a few videos

and btw, I got the whole repair manual for these rav4, if someone need it i can send

cheers

Look at the coils, the cylinder numbers are on the coils. The cylinders are numbered 1 - 4 starting from the end with the belts.
