Default 2003 Jaguar XK8

Hello everyone, i have a 2003 Jaguar XK8 4.2 liter and i am changing the timing chain. i noticed when putting it back together the left side of the VVT i am able to retard the intake side. i am unable to retard the right side intake, i did nothing different from the left side. i dont have the crankshaft chain connected and i am leaving the exhaust side a little loose and the intake about 20 foot pounds of torque to hold the bolt until i retard the vvt. My question is, do i need to retard the right side or is it just the left side that gets the retard? Thank you to everyone in advance for all your help.

Are you using the proper lock down tools? Do you have a manual so you know the steps to take?
