Need help!

OK, So My car randomly cut power while driving last week. was still idling, but VERY rough. I checked the codes and got P0341 Cam Position sensor. I reset the code but then the car refused to start up. I changed the sensor for a new one, but to no avail!

I decided to get into the engine. Eventually once the Valve cover is off I notice that part of the timing chain guide rail had broken off and was sitting next to the chain. I eventually have to special order a new rail and now after 3 hours of putting everything in and back together I have THE SAME ISSUE!

Car refuses to start and is STILL giving the code.

I DESPERATELY need this car to be running since it is my only mode of transport and am really struggling now.

If anyone has ANY advice or ideas, please let me know.

Thanks!
