That's strange to say the least. You did make sure you loosened the big bolt (14mm head) and and then the adjuster stop bolt, and then tighten the tensioner/adjuster, and then re tighten that jam nut and the upper one?

Unless you somehow ruined a hose when moving the pump, but you'd see the oil everywhere. Seems like you just didn't tension it enough (which should cause a loud squeal)
