Default LS1 Belt is off on rib?

Hey folks as the title reads, my belt is off one rib to the back but it also looks like some one tried to space the accessories off with washers so i am sure it is actually farther off than that. The ls1 came out of a 1999 Transam. I just want to run my water pump and my alternator. Any recommendations on a bracket that will line up my alternator properly i need the tensioner and brackets to pull out a bit more than it is right now? I would prefer to keep it up where it is (top side driver). Links or recommendations are welcomed. Thanks

Someone put the wrong accessory brackets/ water pump on that motor and probably the crankshaft damper is wrong too. Home Depot sells spacers and that's the lowest cost option or get the correct accessory.

I actually emailed ict. I ordered the right bracket for the alternator and will be ordering the manual tensioner in the future. Will post pictures of it fixed if this fixes it.
