Difficulty fitting a timing belt on vauxhall Vectra X18E engine?

Question:
Can not properly align Camshaft sprokets. The left hand sproket springs to the correct position on the timing mark, but the righthand sproket springs to a position that is quite far off from the timing mark.
Do I assume the position it springs to is the correct position, or should i get someone to hold the sproket on the timing mark while I fit the timing belt. Thanks.
