Default 302 W belt pulleys not lining up

Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with my Gilmer setup not lining up with each other. The motor had standard pulleys when I bought it, and now it seems that the alternator pulley leans forward more then the other 2 ? I'm not 100% sure if I am using the correct bits for it, as there is a spacer between the head and the alt bracket ? Hopefully you can see from the photo's what I'm talking about.
Cheers

can you get a pic with the belt on.
if the belt sits on all three pulleys, the whole width of the belt then it will be fine

It does seem to sit on well with all 3 pulleys, but I was concerned when it's running, I might have some issues.

Are you using a straight edge on each pulley. They may appear lined up but if say the alternator is slightly crooked then you will have issues. Out of alignment and the belt will slide down the pulley.

With and without the belt the alternator appears to be leaning forward a bit.
