no manufacturer has on the driver side right before the crank for a good reason, crank is pulling on the belt and its just flapping in the wind on the opposite side (just like your video) as the tension is being pulled on the driver side and just letting it loose on the other... i'd recommend re-configuring it to prevent a towtruck ride home

I've had this accessory drive setup for about 4 years, now. I've not had any major belt issues, but the company does offer an improved idler/tensioner setup on the passenger side of the engine. so, it's on the way.
