i've tried searching but could not find anything..

thanks

That is wrong, the smooth part runs over the tensioner.
Should look like this
Toothed side of belt contacts with toothed pulleys which are the crank pulley, and both cam pulleys. The flat side of the belt should be on the tensioner which should also be flat, which pulls in towards the center of the block - or to the front of the car.
If it is any other way then it is wrong.
If your planning on changing yours, spin the motor to 0 deg as marked on the crank pulley, then also check that the two cam pulleys which have 1 dot on each of them line up with the raised section of the cover behind them. The dots are on their face and they should point inwards at about a 20-30 deg angle to each other. The mark on the crank pulley is on the outer edge also but you can use the harmonic balancer to spin it around and get the marking off that which should line up with the -10 to 15deg markings on the plastic cover. It should line up here at 0. The keyway can also be used for getting tdc and i think it should face vertical but im not 100% on that. The harmo should do for lining it up anyways provided your pulley is not shagged.

pretty sure he's talking aobut the serpentine belts, not the timing (cam) belt.
post some pics dude, it will save al ot of confusion.
i cant realld help you with a description, my engine only runs the alternator and waterpump, and even an idiot couldn't get that wrong.
If thats what hes talking about then its wrong.
The ac/p steer belt runs with the grooved sides all running on the grooved pulleys with the tensioner being on the smooth side of the belt and pushes it upwards to tighten it. It sounds as though the belt runs under this which is not right. If it does then youll probably need to tighten the tensioner to get the belt off it then losen it to put it on right, tighten it up again and it should be right.
Dont forget to tighten the bolt in the center of the nut as this locks the tensioner. It will also need to be losened before being able to move the tensioner.
The alternator and water pump belt runs no tensioner and is tensioned by the alternator. This belt runs around the harmonic balancer and both the water pump and alternator with grooves on belt to grooves on pulley.

alright.. thanks guys.. that's what i thought too.. i'll just put it the other way round on the tensioner
