P0017 and Cam Sensor Questions

Question on a P0017 code. Wasn't getting this until I started fiddling with the camshaft sensor cover and seal.

I was getting some drips around the back of the camshaft position sensor/cover and pulled the cover. To inspect the seal I removed the bolt holding the cylinder on the end of the camshaft used by the sensor. Definitely have a slow drip but wasn't tackling the replacement now. When I was re-installing the cylinder on the end of the camshaft and tightening down the bolt the cam did rotate a smidge backwards. If the timing belt was on would everything had stayed in time or would this have been the cause.

Also I did wipe a bit of oil off the tip of the sensor inside the cover. I can't say I was very gentle trying to move around the cover and wires either. Not a lot of space unless you remove the IC pipe.

Not sure if it's cam position, the sensor, or both.

On cold starts it acts up, revs high. Warm starts no issue. I can seem to clear the codes with vida and they don't come back until a longer driving cycle.

If it is the cam position can I rotate it "back" counter clockwise the same smidge, maybe with some sort of slotted tool? Not sure what I would use it's a precarious shape with the cylinder there.

If it is the sensor anyone have a cross reference / alternative part? the Volvo part # 9202117 stamped on mine is pretty expensive.

Vida code has ECM-62 faulty signal.

/Cheers
