I don’t know if this had anything to do with it (i.e. you still have the fitting holes only for the old tensioner), but someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly I’m sure.

The block on my particular D5 (which is T4 or later, apparently) has an elongated slot milled in it to accept the locating peg on the tensioner which enables it to take a range of spacing differences between the peg and the bolt-hole. But in any case, the peg and hole have identical size and spacing on the new tensioner as they do on the old one so there's no issue in that respect at least.
