That's the belt routing for the 3.8 with A/C. You need to retract the tensioner pulley to get the belt back on. If you can't fake it with assorted tools these is a set that makes those easier,

Ps: Which engine? I can look up what it takes to retract the tensioner. How did you get it off anyway?

I can see why you are confused if like that one. You probably can just put a box wrench on the pulley's hex bolt and double up combination wrenches for distance leverage to retract. DON'T LEAVE THAT BOLT LOOSENED AT ALL! There probably is a square spot to grab which will retract it not clear in this photo but may be the top right tab,
