If the mark on the blade doesn't line up with the mark on the gear, you basically give yourself a choice of which problem you want... You can time it on the signal wheel mark and have the ECU happy, but in reality be out of time, or you can line it up on the gear and have the engine properly timed, but the ECU thinks it's out of time.(giving you the problem you have now..)

Just removed the sprocket. The metal disk is not attached to the cog, do I need to order a new one or are their pins that I can use to hold it on there?

It was originally retained with small roll pins, if they've broken off they can be pretty rough to remove... I've fixed them before by getting the assembly clamped in position, and drilling new holes for replacement roll pins.
