idler bearing placement question

Hi,

I just got time to start building my kit, and I've gotten to the "jump to pt 17 and install the idler bearings" part. Problem is, I can't tell how to install them.
in the picture it looks as though the bearings are installed on the motor mount and tri-support? One and then the other in a straight line.

The holes in my motor mount-tri-support don't seem to match. There aren't any in a straight line. Are there any other pictures available? Maybe one from the top (without the top plate attached)? Thanks.

the bearings are not lined up with each other they are slightly off, back one is higher than the other. this what u meant?

that does help. I was afraid that I'd put the supports together wrong. Thanks.

I know cambo3d already helped but here is another shot from an acrylic rostock so you can see it from the side.

thanks for the pic. That is how mine looks. And, it also helps me see how the belts should go. I'll be doing those this weekend.

best,
