Prospector Pro Tracks, Looking for Tensioner Alignment with Frame Instructions

I have a set of 2021 Prospector Pro tracks on my 2021 RZR Trail. When out riding tonight at a slow speed I hit an ice block that knocked the front tensioner out of alignment with the track frame. The tensioner itself doesn't look bent, but is twisted slightly with respect to the frame and there is an adjustment to correct this.

On page 26 of the user manual it says, "CAUTION! DO NOT loosen the tensioner assembly bolt under any circumstance. This bolt is used to assemble and align the tensioner with the frame. If this bolt is loosened, tensioner realignment MUST be performed."

The tensioner assembly bolt appears to have slipped, resulting in the tensioner now being out of alignment, but I can't find any information on how to realign the tensioner with the frame.

Can anyone point me at instructions for doing a tensioner realignment?

The piece under the black arrow is the tensioner. There is a bolt at the base of the tensioner that allows it to be twisted in the frame for alignment.

Lacking any official guidance, I cobbled this together earlier today. Clamp two straight edges to the inside of the front pulley wheels, and turn it until it aligns with the center of the drive gear, clamp it in place and then tighten the bolt.

Tracks turn freely by hand when up on jacks, and it didn't fall off on an aggressive test drive.

Sorry I didn't seed this earlier, been in the woods. That bolt on those style tracks is set to keep the track rolling straight. Now that you have adjusted it know this: Camso makes a bracket that zip ties to the frame at the lower bogie wheels and let's you set that piece so you don't throw the track. Better than me typing it all out, here's a video resource for you that shows and explains it. I have nothing to do with the creator or company, just a resource. Start about the 4 minute mark if you don't want to watch the whole thing:


You are welcome to message me if you have track issues, that'll come to my email and I'll see it sooner. Good luck to you!
