Default Broken Mount Causing belt slippage???

So I noticed a mount on my supercharger was broken about a month ago, well I had to install a new crankshaft positon sensor last week and now that I reinstalled the belt it is slipping like a ****. I had no problems with it slipping before. Do you think the broken mount is the culprit or do I need to try to remove the belt and adjust the alternator or something for a little more tension on the belt?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm afraid to drive my car because the belt is slipping so bad and it is eating away it is spraying a cloud of black dust everywhere in my engine bay...

I had a problem with that bolt not staying tight once before, and I think that may be another reason for that mount breaking. the supercharger is fine from what I can tell. The car ran fine before the belt started to slip, and it didn't start to slip until after I had it off and reinstalled it, so odds are I messed something up hurrying to finish putting it all back together at 1am. I need to check the tension on the belt to make sure it is tight enough/too tight...
