When the solenoid is commanded on the actual camshaft, it would not match desired camshaft position? Is the camshaft gear possible stuck?

Yes, the camshaft actuator can be stuck or the oil control valve could be stuck closed or open. I would make sure the engine oil is clean and full, if not change the oil and filter. I can also tell you that when the timing chain wears out or the guides are broken which is common with this engine at this mileage you will get these codes. Can you please tell me the code numbers so I can tell for sure?
