Default Fan Belt Sensor Question

Can you all tell me where your belt sensor rides? Replaced my belts over the weekend and I'm trying to diagnose a noise. I was surprised to find that the little wheel is riding on the very edge of the belt with a little hanging off. Just didn't look right, but I see no adjustability.

thanks in advance.

Mine also rests on the side of the belt, off center.

Thanks Jason,
Anyone else let me know if this sounds unusual.

I put new belts and a new sensor on mine and it's also off center.

The bearings went to sh*t on mine and made a funny noise. Replaced it in 5 minutes.

Dave,
I have no idea - I've simply admired the product from afar. In concept & execution, it's perfect. They offer a simple version like the one pictured, and another for A/C-equipped cars. I want.
