Upon installing a trickflow ac delete, my belt seems to be riding the outer edge of my tensioner, wearing a little on the belt's edge. Runs fine and doesn't come off or anything, I'd just rather it be more centered. Leave it alone or try to space out my tensioner with a washer or two?

Isn't the other side of the belt supposed to be running against the pulley?

It's a trickflow ac delete. It relocates the tensioner to the driver's side and tensions upward

Well, I couldn't space the tensioner only because it would mean the line up tit on the tensioner wouldn't seat in the bracket fully. I used 2 small flat washers on each mounting bolt of the delete bracket.
