Angled Clutch Wear Pattern

I put on a new clutch belt and the inner teeth have an angled wear pattern. Is this just a wear in process and it may be uneven on some clutches or do I need to adjust something? Pic below:

First, your new belt is shorter, so it will ride on the center shaft unless you adjust the deflection. Your clutches are also slightly out of alignment so the overtight belt pulls to one side and wears on the center shaft un evenly.
