Default cam install - TDC

I just installed SE 255 cams in my 08 flhtcu. My concern is TDC and getting this correct BEFORE I install the cone, pushrods, ect. My thinking is if the cam marks are in the correct position and the cam drive gear is correctly lined up with the crank gear mark then I can go ahead and finish it up. Im thinking it might be possible to put this together 180 degrees off and I dont want to do that (obviously).
I would appreciate some clarification on this before proceeding.
Thanks!

If the marks are aligned properly, you're good to go.

That part is straight forward... The same doubt crossed my mind when I did my cams as well.
