I'm not sure what you mean by ''put it all back exactly where it is now''. If you have installed the rear cams incorrectly the valves will hit the piston when you spin the motor so don't spin the motor. Assuming the front cams and tensioner are all in place here's the easiest way to fix the rear without damaging anything...

Remove the rear tensioner and cams.
Turn the crank anti clockwise until F mark is lined up
Check front cam timing marks are lined up if not rotate crank 360 to F
You'll have to hold the rear cam chain up and on the sprocket by hand
when turning the crank or it can get stuck.

So now the front is on F and front cam timing marks are aligned.
Turn the crank a full 360 degrees anti clockwise back to the F mark again.
The front timing marks will now not be lined up but that's ok.
Install rear cams ensuring timing marks line up as per the book.
Install chain tensioner.
Do all of the above with both spark plugs removed.
