Belt tensioner question

I had a question about my belt tensioner. I don't seem to be showing any holes.
Would it not show the proper 1 hole if the drive belt is to long?
Seems I put on a 060539 (if I was sent the wrong one or ordered the wrong one who knows) When I should of went with a 060535 or 060532. I'm running a 17% pulley.
Just want to make sure it would be purely based on to long of a belt that the tensioner isn't showing the 1 hole. Not the tensioner being bad as well as a long belt.

I think the 535 would be the correct length. You can look �� on the ECS site and find the correct belt.

I’m running a 535 belt with a 17% pulley. Perfect fit IMO.
