C5x7 138bhp 2.0 HDI won't start after timing belt change

Hi All, I changed the timing belt on the car and now can't get it to start. I couldn't lock the flywheel because I couldn't find the hole on the flywheel even with the starter removed but lined it up with the nubbin on the block. I like the idiot I am rotated it without the harmonic balancer. It won't start now it turns over fine.is it possible it's 180 out because of not using the harmonic balancer.

Hi Marc as best as I could apart from locking the flywheel and as I said without the harmonic balancer in place. Thanks for that by the way.

I did change the crank sensor because the housing was cracked. I might try the old sensor In it.
