Help on Pulley Installation

My mechanic is trying to install the super charger WMW 15% reduction pulley. After installing the pulley he said the belt didn’t align properly and that it was kind of hanging @ an angle with the rest of the pulleys.. I said screw it because it’s my only car and after driving it for a day it unaligned and shredded part of the belt thinning it a little . he took it back and said that it needs to be 2-3mm closer to the supercharger housing like he said before. it shredded on the inside he said so I guess the side closest to the engine. what am i getting wrong. please help. need my car back how far is it supposed to be from the supercharger. i heard 1mm or is it supposed to be flush against it? i really apreciate it. for back story on my car. no accidents. about a year ago the harmonic balancer wash changed to an ati pulley. new clutch installed about 3 months ago. not sure if that helps THANK YOU

Did you use the smaller belt size? The wmw pulley should "align" itself.

Yea. The first one was from wmw and the new ones from napa. I guess the problem is the pulley doesnt go in far enough
