make a loop at each end of the belt with zip-ties (the orientation showed is the best I found), trim everything but keep a short length on the tensioning zip-tie to be able to pull on it with a plier.
after having tensioned the belt, slide the y-plate at the middle of the frame, align with the tensioning system and then clamp the belt (can be under or above the y-plate)
you also have to choose on wich side you like to have access to the bolts/nuts (under is almost always accessible)
