Like lasershark said In order for us to all help you, we need better photos. The picture you posted doesnt show much.

There is nothing else to see, i dont see another mark. Only this bulley mark is there. The others bulleys mark in somewhere else. Mainly I wanted to know if it could be over the tooth?
It's possible, the only way to verify is to pull the lower timing cover off and line up the marks as illustrated in the link above. A quick tip, all the marks will (or should) line up every 6 rotations of the crank.
 
Is this right??

The timing belt has just been replaced but it seems to be melting. I bet that the tensioner has been incorrectly installed and then it has been deceived.

Ok,better photos coming another day,thanks dude.

In order for that picture to be helpful for any of us, you would need to take a picture of the timing marks and also cam marks.

What exactly are you asking?

What about now?,this are older photos.

You can't just take a random picture of the timing belt and ask if it is ok

You have to remove the lower timing belt cover, the middle timing belt cover, the upper belt cover, and rotate the crank gear to line up at the lower timing mark as the upper cam marks align. It takes a few manual revolutions of the crank with your socket wrench to get everything lined up

Here's a picture of a gates timing belt with 3 years and 30k miles on it. I was going to replace it just because I now have 3 spare sets of timing belts, but it was in like new condition

Btw in the picture you posted the cam seals are leaking oil like crazy and the white letters on the timing belt are so worn down that I can tell you it is a Mitsubishi oem belt that has not been changed in over 60k miles

Top belt in photo is a Mitsubishi oem belt with over 110k miles on it (yes they can go that far. I've seen d-series civics over 200k on a stock belt (I have pictures of those belts too LOL)
