Does any one out there know how to time the zig zag motion on a Singer Creative Touch model 1030 and 1036 or have an instruction manual they could help me out with? Thank you.

Singer has a customer support site that offers answers to the most common questions and an 800 number if you still need help with your machine:
The Singer consumer site is good for finding a qualified repair tech, having a look at new models, and free or low-cost user guide manual downloads and hard copy. They won't be of any use to you if you're hoping to do a home fix on your timing issue.
Try this site for vintage Singer repair how-to info - he's very knowledgeable, offers a lot of free downloads, and also is willing to answer emailed questions. He also sells parts and service manuals - be forewarned that a Singer service manual can run into the three digit cost category.
To be perfectly frank, re-timing a vintage sewing machine isn't easy and requires some specialised knowledge and tools. It may be quicker and more cost-effective for you to take the machine to a qualified repair tech.
I am self-taught and do some vintage (mostly Singer) repair here in Scotland for my Sewing 101 students and as I don't have the specific service manual for that model (it's not one we see here in Scotland), would tell my student to take her machine to a factory trained tech for best results.
