Roll the belts along the bench top to get the exact length,it might pay you to back to the old set up and try both belts,pay attention to how much thread is showing after the last nut goes on,the trophy set up does not look quite right.

If the belt is shorter, it won't get top speed. You might need to shim the variator out for optimum performance. How do I shim it out ?

Geoff How should the nut look ? When I started it the scooter sounded really weird . Like a deeper idle . The variator has some play and it wiggles kinda

Don't ride it like that. It can damage the crank. When you put the new variator on. Did you squeeze the rear pulley together. So the belt was slack at the front? Otherwise you can tighten the drive face into the belt. Not the crank.
Shims are spacers that fit between the drive face, and drive boss.

Following on from Aeroxbud dont ride it you can damage the crank.
If you can wobble it by hand . You might have already messed up your variator. The variator fan are made of soft aluminum the crank is steel . When you dont install it right and pinch the belt it will clatter really loud when its running. And the variator fan will rub back and forth on the steel threads of the crank and fill them in with aluminum . Sometimes it fuses the variator fan to the crank .
It is fixable with some small files to clean out the aluminum from the threads .
can you take some more pictures or video of you wobbling the variator fan .

The variator boss is the shiny round piece in the middle of the variator. It goes over the crank.
