Default Cam gear screw up?

I just realized tonight that I ordered and installed a 4x timing set for LS3 in my LQ4 that should use a 1x.
I am a little confused since the cam sensor is not on the timing cover, will what I have work or do I need to change it to a 1x? TIA

Doesn’t mean anything. Some crossover year gen3 engines actually came stock with 4x cam sprockets even though the sensor was still in the back of the engine and 1x.
