Helllllpppp!!!!!

oh no I think I may have done it now....

I was changing my drive belt by myself and I think I pushed down wayyyyyy too hard on the tensioner. ..I mean I really leaned on it. I put all my weight on it while struggling to get the belt over the final pulley with my left hand, after some struggling it went on. But now the tensioner feels funny when I push down clockwise. Is it possible to screw this up by pushing down (clockwise) too hard??? The belt is on nice and tight and its seated properly, completely centered on each pulley. I tried pulling up with the 24mm wrench on the tensioner counterclockwise to stupidly see if the tensioner is ok.

I'm too scared to fire it up. What should I do?? Can I damage the engine?
