The trouble your having is your going the wrong direction with having flat pulleys/rollers. I run a lot of conveyors for fertilizer and corn. You tighten the side you want the belt to move away from. Think about the rollers being a wedge. The belt will move to the lower/shorter side. The wider the belt the harder it is to get straight. A little bit will usually move the belt when your close to straight.
Older flat belt driven shellers/grinders and such, just about all had domed pulleys. They are more forgiving about not being perfectly straight. If you can get the lacing out of your belt lay it out flat and measure the length of each side. Belts will stretch or may not have been laced correctly to begin with. Wide belts will often not stretch evenly side to side. Then they are curved when laid out flat. On longer conveyor belts this makes then junk.
You can try measuring the belt in place by wrapping a tap measure around the belt/rollers.
