Good eye on catching the idler not sitting square, that is important.

The idler needs to be seated into its recess by tapping it in with a mallet. Pulling it in with only the bolt is not enough to get it all the way in, and can lead to it going in crooked as well. I have experienced this too.

Have you tried seating it that way?
