Most likely the brackets but need pics to see what's going on.

Brackets mainly were all the bolts are. Were the brackets connect to the pump and the block. If we can see the mounting and what brackets are in use it'll help figure out why it's not sitting correctly.

Aren't those pullies pressed on? I've had similar issues with other cars, whereas the mount was bolted on the front of a tab when it should have been on the back of the tab.

Make sure that the bracket bolt that goes into the head is installed, if it has one. Mine was off a bit alos, no quite that bad, but then I noticed it was missing the bolt that went into the head. It lined up nicely once I installed it.

The one I took off of it did yes, my truck doesn't have AC so I put the single one back on could reuse the belt that way too

Most likely the AC bracket was bolted under the PS bracket on the bolt at the head. Without AC, you should be able to get it lined up by putting a spacer under the bolt. Since you said it was fine before, there may have been a spacer that fell off when you unbolted the pump.
Probably need a 1/2 inch spacer. Change the spacer length until it lines up.

From the picture, it also looks like the shaft is pointing down as well, so the pully isn't even parallel with the others. Maybe there is a missing spacer between the bracket and the front face of the pump similar to the big blocks?
