First make sure your belt isn't too tight. That will cause it to squeal. And can damage the seals.

You probably won't get it to run dead center. Most seem to want to ride to the inside of the pulley but not rub on the side. Just turn the adjusters a little. Not even a 1/4 turn at a time. You just want to pull the right side back a hair. But you also need to keep the wheel alignment good.
