Cam Plug Help.

Can any of you 460 experts out there tell me if it looks like the cam plug is too far in? I got the darn thing in crooked and kept pounding on the high side until it finally straightened out but it was way in by the time it straightened out. I would hate to drill it out and start all over again with a new one, but I would rather do it now while the engine is out. Any comments?

As long as it isn't driven into the cam it would be ok. The cam thrusts forward.
