Exclamation 3.5L Timing Marks Problem Please Help!

I replaced the timing belt in my 2004 300M 3.5 liter. But upon rotating the engine by hand 2 revolutions, the marks do not line up. How do I align the camshafts and the Crankshaft without damaging the engine?
At TDC the camshaft marks are almost 180 degrees out of alignment.
Can I simply rotate the camshafts to line up the timing marks when Crankshaft is at TDC??

Please help!

How did u get them 180 out? Did the belt break ? If it did. Buy a service manual. It will walk u through it to put it to tax and then move the cams. I can say though. U more then likely bent valves of they are 180 out. And u rotated then engine
