Take a photo of the tensioner, as a "test" remove all the locking pins and see if you can get it on then, I bet your struggling with pulling it tight over the locked pulleys so loose alot of slack like that when the belts sitting a tooth out. Obviously don't motor it like this! Will answer the question of if the belts long enough they do stretch with age so expect the new one to be a few mm shorter but nothing big that it wouldn't allow you to replace with a new one something's not right.
