I just left it how it was seemed to be set right but I’ll double check should I do it while it’s warm?

Your distributor could be in 180 out. I would check that by pulling the No. 1 spark plug, checking that the piston is at TDC and your timing marks lined up properly.

 

The timing marks are on the front ring of the crank pulley. If you removed that and didn't mark the original position, that could be the problem. If you're an idiot like me, and you take things apart to clean them and forget to match mark them.....

 

The engine will run if the distributor is 180 out and also at 30... Not very well, and your symptoms seem to match my experience.
