It sounds like that either the dowels were misalined or the target bolt in the center of magnet was over torqued. Make sure when installing magnet that the dowel pins are aligned with the hole on the back of the cam.(make sure that there is nothing in the holes on the cam).Install the center bolt and torque to 30 in-lbs. Then make sure the new o-ring is installed on cam sensor. Install sensor and torque mounting bolts to 80 in-lbs. If you follow this very closely,you should not have anymore problems. Hope this will help you.

The camshaft sensor wouldn't explain the clattering noise. But a timing chain would explain both. Clattering from a loose chain and the camshaft sensor code from when the chain broke and the camshafts stopped turning.
