belt rubbing tensioner. stage 2 belt..?

i did my stage 3 upgrade like 3 months ago. i had belt squeal for a while above like 3000 rpms. even with the adjustable tensioner from ZZP. so i decided to go get the stage 2 belt ($50) and now it squeals at all times (when running of course). idle to redline, no stop squeals. so annoying its been like 3 days now, i thought it might just be break in period or something. idk, but i decided to take a look and the belt rubs against the adjustable tensioner. is the stage 2 belt wider? they have the same number of ribs. i rub a little soap on it to see if it would quite it some. no help... any suggestions? did i forget to put a spacer between the pulley and S/C when i installed the new pulley? it doesnt look like the stock belt rubbed. any response would be great. Cheers

Have tried pouring water on the belt and pullies to see if some fluid is making it squeak?

I see shavings of the belt, I know the noise is coming from the belt rubbing against the adjustable tensioner. No fluids leaking. Maybe I installed the s/C pulley to deep...

Check to see if you have the belt aligned properly over the ac condenser pulley. Common area for the pulley to be off a rib. The belt should not be rubbing against the tensioner if installed correctly.

I noticed that the s/c pulley was slightly out of alignment with the alt and tensioner pulleys, so I pulled off the charger and used my pulley puller and pulled the hub out an 1/8" and now it's allllllll goood! No squeak no weird noise sounds great again! Yayy! Thanks for the responses!
