So the arrows would be rotated slightly counter clockwise from 12 o'clock.

To fix your problem, pull off the upper timing belt cover, set your crank pulley to TDC by lining up the notch with the TDC indication mark on the lower timing belt cover, loosen your timing belt tensioner so that you can slide the belt off the cam gears, then it will just take some patience and a few tries to get the cam gear TDC marks in the center of the two wheels to line up while you ensure the the two "UP" are pointing relatively straight up and both in the same direction. Then, while ensuring the cam gears don't move, reinstall the timing belt starting with the exhaust gear and then the intake gear. Once you think you have it, rotate the engine 2 - 3 cycles to ensure all your TDC marks are lining up properly each time. Rotating the engine counter clockwise will re-apply tension to the belt and you can then re-tighten the tension adjustment bolt.

If you don't know how to do these steps, let me know and i will send you a link to a manual that will show you how to identify the components / procedural steps you need to fix your timing... I hope this helped.
