how to fit drive belt on zanussi tc 484w??

just replaced the belt and it seems too slack... seen a lot of people on here have had similar problems and have been told to tighten up 2 bolts which will tighten the belt up.
does anyone know where the bolts are to tighten it up? cant see anything that resembles this?

please help!!!!

the black wheel should spring back onto the belt and this in turn tensions the belt.the back of the drive belt should run on the black wheel.cross section looking at the parts from the back should be belt then motor shaft then belt then black tensioner wheel.its so easy but so hard to describe

hi...sorry i cant see how it could be on the wrong side...? ive moved the alternator to the left on the spring, and attached the belt to the black wheel. the alternator then goes back to the right but it is still loose?
