Not saying this is the cure for all similar such things, it just worked in this case...
I did the same thing at first and the pulleys lined up. Call it OCD but it wasn't right. I wanted the arm with the square hole for the carriage bolt that holds the guard on the right.

You may want to compare your arms to see if one is bent. I laid one on the other so they nested. It was very clear that they didn't match.
