kwik performance AC bracket alignment

ok guys, im running a 5.3 V8 with truck accessories and this kwik performance bracket that vintage air sells (141808)

went out an bought the EXTRA tensioner that is not included in the KIT
swapped the pulley on that for the gates 38012 (was included in the kit)

had to add the included washer behind the 38012 just to get the thing to clear the tensioner body and spin.

im no expert, but i think ill have alignment issues.

seems like the AC compressor and the top pulley are inline with the rest of the motor pulleys, but the pulley that sits on the tensioner (the delco 12560344) sticks out almost an 1/8 inch

it looks like the only way to solve this would be to mill the kwik bracket where the tensioner sits to allow the tensioner to go back where i need it.

it does line up perfectly without the washer, but the 38012 pulley contacts the tensioner body and wont spin

Any ideas?

thanks
