Trouble with rega white belt seating properly

I just got the new white belt for my planar3 and that one along with my spare I never put on roll up and down and will not stay in place.My original belt is 10 years old and doesn't do this.I put in the subplatter upgrade a few years ago,I don't see that should be a problem,it wasn't with old belt.Does it need to breakin?Any ideas?

Thanks Stefanl,I think you nailed my problem,the motor pulley doesn't line up in the hole on center with belt tension.How do you replace the rubber suspension belts?Or should I go for the new motor upgrade?I just can't get the pulley to lower like you said.Also where do I get the rubber belts?

Thanks,I tried to loosen screws and pull down the motor,couldn't get it to move down.The place I bought it said to try talc power which I can't find around here.I'm returning it for replacement as Frank had same trouble.It jumps down about quarter inch and then woobles,goes up,hold steady for a while and does same thing all over again.The belt is riding high on the subplatter when it holds for a while.
