The worst thing that can happen if you do overtighten is have the belts squeel.
The tensioner pulley sits on a sliding bracket with a threaded bolt through it. Turnm the bolt to move the pulley forward and back to adjust tension.

or if you dont have AC, you can adjust tension with the power steering assembly.
