(6-BOLT) Everything was fine correct, everything is new and is OEM besides the gates belt (not OEM) I am thinking it’s possibly the tensioner arm bushing that’s probably worn. I’ve seen couple of other builds with the belt sitting more on side (inner side). Wondering if this is ok to run? Or should I get those new olite bushings from pat. Haven’t ran the motor. Just turned it by hand after installation.

Until you start running it, it's hard to tell how far (if at all) that belt is going to shift.
If it does it's because the tension on the belt is uneven from side to side. Usually due to a problem with the tensioner arm and pulley.
