95 T4R 3.0 Timing belt

Just did a full head job and the timing belt is smoking. WHY? It was at top dead center and all the lines were there. Is it to tight or not aligned? what did i do?

I'm def no expert...but I wonder if the belt is pushed too far back and rubbing against the cover. Are the bearings good on the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley? Maybe if one of those bearings is seized the belt would be slipping there instead of the pulley turning.
