What i need to do?

You need to shim the left pulley: a few shims (4mm ID) between the left pulley and the bearing in order to provide enough clearance for the belt to pass by the motor mount.
Once you set screw the left pulley and spur gear down, the final adjustment for side-to-side play is done using the right pulley. Set screw that pulley down so that you have just a tick of play.
Also, be sure your set screws are hitting the flatspots of the shaft and put some blue threadlock on them.
