It has always been my understanding that the day of the dedication of the Mishkan was on the first day of the week as noted in the Gemoro and Rashi.
Perhaps there is a Midrash that I am not aware of that states that this took place rather on the sixth day of the week as when mankind was created. Is there something that I am not aware of?
The first of Nissan was the original sixth day of creation. I don't think this contradicts the possibility of the mishkan being inaugurated on Sunday. Point is that the first day of Nissan always corresponds to the sixth day of creation, no matter what day of the week it falls.
