Power steering pulley hitting alt bracket?

So apparently the alternator bracket when tightened down rubs a little against the power steering pump pulley.
I've never encountered this problem before, and I've changed tons of alternators and PS belts on dsm's before.
Bear in mind: The bracket for the PS pump is on correctly. The pump is bolted to the bracket correctly. The alt bracket is bolted to the block correctly.
Anyone ever see an Alt bracket bend for no reason? (All I can think of). It only rubs when the alt bracket is tightened all the way down.
 
After rebuilding the Talon that I once used to have, I myself encountered the same problem. I looked all over trying to see if i did something wrong, and spoke with quite a few people that none the less hadn't a clue either. My only solution to this problem was too bend the bracket a little bit to get it too stop rubbing. Now i am not one to "rig" Items up, but that was the only solution i could come up with to my problem. Wish the best of luck to you on finding the correct way, but i had no luck myself.
 
I have this same problem. Is this what yours looked like? I know this thread is over 6 months old, but figured I would post to see if anyone else can give me some input. Any advise and input would be greatly appreciated.
