Default Will this pose a problem??

Just got done replacing a leaky power steering pump on my '11 JK. New pump, pulley, belt tensioner, and idler. When putting the new pulley on the new pump I could not get it 100% flush like the OE pump/pulley. It likes maybe 1mm. I knew it definitely wasn't coming off so I went with it. However, after I installed everything I noticed the serpentine belt now rides just off of the new idler. The belt rides on all other pulleys and the new tensioner perfectly. My question is, will this hurt anything? I'll include an after photo of how the belt contacts the new idler.

Yeah, that's going to chew up the belt.
