head gasket.. i'm stumped

I'm getting everything back together on my headgasket project for my 94 4runner v6. I'm putting the new timing belt back on and I can not seem to properly locate the #1 idler pully (the one that hangs on the front of the right head)

There are two bolt holes, one in close to the center of the engine, and one out towards the exhaust. I believe the one on the outside is for the power steering pump bracket, but the one in the center leaves the idler too low.

Does anyone have any photos or anything to help me? it should be pretty easy, but it just won't go together.

ok, i just found this photo (these are not my heads) and I'm wondering... is it possible i switched the heads on my engine left to right and the one on the right now doesn't have the hole i need? and if so, how completely screwed am I?

Yes it is possible to switch them left to right...things wont bolt up properly (as is your issue) but you can accidently get them backwards. You are not completley screwed, just take it all back apart, switch the cams, etc etc and putit all back together...the correct way this time lol
