Slide it into the center, use a screwdriver etc and prise it over, turn engine around abit etc, be careful not to damage belt though. Turn the engine over by hand 2 times and if its come back check the tensioner and guide

idler or pump bearing fubared or not seated correctly
that will run the belt off a pulley

Also make sure the block face is thoroughly cleaned before bolting on idler and tensioner to ensure that they sit perfectly flat against the block.
