Pulley and belt alignment problems?

First off that looks like a slant six. The crank damper has a groove that should line up with the water pump pulley, and the rear groove of the alternator pulley. The rear "bolt on" sheiv of the crank is for air conditioning if equiped. The front "bolt on" sheiv is for the power steering.

Yes, it's a slant. Your info on which groove should run what matches what I have, I just can't get them to line up.

Is it posable that the crank pulley is not seated all the way.

OR
not knowing anything about /6 could it be on backwards?

I considered if the crank damper might not be fully seated. I tried to double check it but I can't do so at the moment. Trying to remove the bolt is just turning the engine over, the bolt is very tight. I have the driveshaft out for new u-joints, once it's back in I can hold the engine still to get the bolt out and double check the damper. There is no way it can go on backwards.
