If you turn it another 1/2 of a tooth clockwise, the alignment marks will line up perfectly.

Due to the tensioner and belt stretch or lack there of, you may not be able to get things perfectly lined up all at once which is normal and why you count teeth between the specified marks, and just get the alignments as close as possible.
