the pulley bridge is bolted up correct, only thing i can thing of is the pulley bridge is bent some

below is a shot of the belt, with everything on properly! as you can see, on the right of the belt, it is rubbin on the right idler, inside edge. the belt runnin on the left idler, it looks like its about to jump off the outside of the pulley. like i was saying the only thing i can think of is the pulley bridge has been tweaked enough to throw off the belt path

why is my belt way off! lol

The idler looks to be the problem. Pull the belt off and spin it by hand to see if it wobbles. Do this with all of the idlers and the lower and report back.

I'd take the idlers and belt off. Then stand just like you did when you took the picture. Then close one eye and see if all the idler mount posts line up.

may need to replace the tensioner. If it is warn out, it will gradually fall back towards the motor.
