Your engine has VVT, so try aligning the timing marks noting the mark on the VVT side. Turn the belt additional 90 degrees and then back to the mark - that reduces tension on the VVT. Verify that the other marks are close and in good shape.

Install a new belt and tensioner, with the marks aligned. Try it out.
