The belt route is a bit convoluted, but it doesn't wrap any of them twice. I highlighted it in the image because of that. Route the belt over all the pulleys except the crankshaft, then move the tensioner and put the belt onto the crankshaft pulley. Then put the plastic shroud back in place.

That is the crankshaft pulley. It mounts to the balancer/damper that goes on the crankshaft snout. It powers all the accessories.
