My service manual says nothing about the alignment of the sprockets, and
even if it did, there's no guarantee that the RK units are the same. Did
the sprockets come with any documentation? You might also check the
archives of the VFR mailing list:

If you're not already on the list, it's almost certain that someone
there has dealt with this problem and can answer your question. They're
a great bunch.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
