Harmonic Balancer question

Ok..so i MAY have made a boo-boo SOOO...was wondering how the harmonic balancer lines back up on the crank..I don't think I ever marked it..or knew that I was supposed to...and crank has spun a couple times due to the excruciating crank timing gear not coming off and spinning the puller...any advice? cuz now i'm scared haha

Oh thank goodness! I couldn't remember if it did or not! Now..should I be worried that the crank has spun? I'm changing the cam and gears anyways..do I just line the crank gear up with the woodruff key, then match the timing dots up on the cam and crank?
