Default Timing belt marks not lined up with pulley marks. Should I be worried?

Hi folks. Now the car has been started and run, the new timing belt's timing marks don't line up with the marks on the pulleys themselves anymore.

The marks on all the pulleys however are fine and all still in alignment. Should I be concerned or it that normal? How does the belt move but the pulleys not be out? Should I worry about the tensioner at all?

Cheers mate. Just been reminded the timing lines on the belt line up every couple of hundred revs so no need to worry. I've just got a point I'm convinced everything's wrong
