Default changed valvecover gasket, but car won't start

hi guys, new to this forum and need your help badly. so i changed the valve cover gasket on the car. upon removing the valvetronic, the cam position changed so i thought i may have an issue when i put it all together. and my gut was right. i put it all back together now and the car won't start up. i thought the electronic controls would reset the valvetronic? what do i need to do to trouble shoot and fix? i have a generic code reader, which is telling me p0206, but that is all. need your help quick.thanks.

Did you reconnect the electrical connectors to the valvetronic motor as well as valvetronic sensor connector on the valve cover?
