Mine is sitting something like this right now. Just a little towards the drivers side past those three bars. Not at home to take a pic.

Mine is the same exact spot. This means the belt is lose and the tensioner is pulling it too hard. I tried to adjust it with the bolt and could not. If you figure it out let me know!

Has to be adjustable that way. Mine is where it is because I was trying to adjust it with the bolt when there was no belt in and it went to far - I just haven't adjusted it back yet.

When I get Tbatt's kit I'll address it then and report back if 'resetting' the idler position by that bolt worked or not, thing I'm confused fident it will.
