Is my Reluctor Wheel skipped teeth? Check Photo Pls..

Long story short..

I have 2011 Camaro V6 Cabrio at 55.000miles. I had check engine light which throws P0008,P0009 codes, my car was running sluggish, extreme power loss...

I had replaced the timing chain with Cloyes kit next month. But still check engine light is on with an additional P0016 code(P0008-P0009 still there). My car is still running sluggish, nothing changed..

Today i got replaced the 4 VVT Sprockets(cam phasers) with new ones. Still no change.

Timing Chain Replaced(Cloyes)
4 Cam Sensors Replaced (AC Delco)
4 VVT Selenoid Sensors Replaced(OEM-Aftermarket)
4 VVT Sprockets Changed(OEM-Aftermarket)
ECM flashed - reinstalled software


I opened oil pan and checked the reluctor wheel.. Can you please tell me whether it's shipped teeth or not? There are 5 teeth from the edge



**********UPDATE 31.05.2021*************
Yes, the problem is finally found! It's reluctor wheel! Skipped 1.5 teeth...
My mechanics fixed the issue without removing the crank.. YES it's TRUE! He gently and carefully applied force and take the wheel to the original position. BUT BE CAREFUL YOU MAY BREAK THE WHEEL!! He also applied a mini tack weld to avoid any further movements.. My car is back!! Day and night difference... It's a shame that GM's engine has such an important manufacturing defect!!!!!!!!! I recommend everybody who experience P0008, P0009, P0016, P0017 timing related DTCs to CHECK RELUCTOR WHEEL POSITION before replacing the chains... It's very easy... Just remove the oil pan and check the teeth to make sure it's 3.5 teeth away from the crank's edge.

Thanks everybody for helping my issue...
