Alt. Alignment

No. Nearly all GM alternators with the 12/6 moutning ears have the same major dimension between the front of the mounting ears and the pulley groove. Most alternators use a spacer on the shaft, so yours may have been assembled incorrectly although the spacer is usually ~1/8" and the alternator won't spin clearly without it.
It looks like the alternator is a little offset rearward compared to the upper bracket. It should have the wide ear in that bracket with no washers or spacers.
Most likely culprit is mismatch of brackets, or some wildly abused alternator.

Except that pushes the PS pump forward, which would make the problem worse.
Given the variances in mismatched alternator and PS pump brackets and pulleys, how does the alternator align with the crank and water pump? If it matches, the problem is with the PS pump. If it doesn't, the problem is with the alternator.
It aligned when it left the factory...

And everyone else that replied. I'm taking some time off.
