That's how it fits. you plug in the connector under the pulley first, then slot it in.

you need to loose the adaptors and use a low profile 5mm connector

Turn the battery round, so the plugs are at the front, gives you more clearance for the plugs.

No the front rear belt pulley is in the way then, and its lower than the rear one.
