Look at the frame for rub marks.
Have an assistant rev the engine once or twice and rock it back and two between Drive and Reverse with the engine at idle while you watch for how much it moves.
If the engine doesn't rock much, and the idler doesn't whack the frame, I wouldn't worry too much about how close to the frame the idler looks.
