if all the brackets and everything is tight, and now the belt is loose, you have it on wrong. the tensioner has lots of room to work with, it will tighten a belt that is 2 inches too big.

hard to put in? are they on an angle? is the bracketry lined up right? dont strip the bolts trying to get them in. if they dont go smoothly, something is wrong.
