I just thought to make it a little easier to check the angle of the idler pulley use a gap feeler like for spark plugs. Use it to check the distance between the plate and the pulley look on different sides and see it the gap is the same.

I know that you could not fit a smaller belt on there but I can't help but think that it needs to be tighter. Does that engine have an idler tension pulley at all on it?
