Cam belt troubles

;)Hi All,

I need some advise if anyone has experienced this or can help me understand

I upgraded my cam to a 288 and took my car for tuning and dyno on Saturday, the team sorted out my timing, and the tuning and dyno went well
I then went home (Driving normal speed as i had my kid in the car) and parked it off,

On Sunday i went to start my car, it started however made a weird noise and turned off, thereafter refused to start up again.

After checking the plugs and starter, we noticed that the cam belt (new) was 3 teeth off (forward) and the belt was loose.
This baffles me as my theory is if something was wrong the belt should of went back not forward.

please advise if you have been through this.
