power steering pump alignment

So my alternator belt broke, and I had to remove the power steering belt to put the alternator belt back on. Now both belts are back on but the power steering pulley seems crooked, and now squeals whenever I rev the engine. The pumps seems slightly too far back (towards the motor). Everything is tight and in place so I do not under stand the change. Any advice on how to fix it? I'm also selling it soon and have potential buyers coming in the next few days

the PS belt has to be tightened, there are multiple nuts/bolts, did you leave something untightened on your first attempt. The link below has a blowup image of the pump and mounting bolts front and rear.

There are 3 to loosen altogether. 1 in front, 2 in rear. This gives you the angle wiggle-room you need. (Kind of a pain)
