Ok, well, you want to trust the piston and valve positions first, marks
second.  Not sure what could have happend to your flywheel to get it so far off,
and on the camgear lets hope you meant mm not cm, which would be considerably
off.

Here's what I say you do:

1 - Pull the timing belt off the cam gear.

2 - Pull off your valve cover so you can see the #1 cam lobes, turn your cam
until both #1 valves are closed and the valve lobes are both pointing up at
the same angle and the same distance from the head.  Ok, not the cam is at TDC.

3 - Now line up the block, turn #1 piston to TDC.

4 - Reinstall timing belt on cam gear

5- Line up distributor to TDC, use the mark on the dist housing and point
center of rotor to #1 electrode in dist cap.

Now you should have a properly TDC motor.
