Did the new pump come with a pully and you used it? Never assume aftermarket parts are just a swap out. Check against your original pully. There may be a difference in diameter you didn't notice when just getting the job done. You may just need to swap them out, plus you can keep one more original part on it.

Does your car have air conditioning? You may have the wrong pump. Is your belt the right length? Could you show us a picture? Worth a thousand words.

Have made error more than once installing a pully. What looks straight by eyeing is deceiving on belt alignment. If you can put as long a straight edge on belt pully you can and compare distance along pwr steering belt length. Even a piece of string will do.
