I possibly have a stupid question
I have a just had my heads redone and have been using the Toyota manual to get the correct specs it states that the L head cam dots are 2 dots to middle and R head 1 dot to the middle which I have correct but the Left cam belt sprocket is 180 out and the Right head is correct.
Am I meant to rotate L camshaft 180 after torquing down the caps?
Any help would be appreciated

According to the service manual this alignment isn't for the belt sprockets. This is for the gear drive for the timing of the driving and driven camshafts. The manual instructs you too place both cams with the two dots facing each other and single dots facing outward.
If the cylinder head is installed and you're in doubt may be wise to remove and install the camshafts in the correct orientation.
 
If you're having trouble getting the cams to line up as you torque them due to the valve springs pushing up you can rotate the crankshaft enough to get all the pistons below the deck height and rotate the camshafts until they align.
