Serpentine Belt

I just noticed this on my Concorde 1994 3.3L

According to my Book from Haynes and the label
on the radiator of the car, the serpentine belt goes
from the alternator down under the water pump
and up into the motor idler, from there goes
all the way to the other side under the power
steering pulley and up back to the alternator.

The way it is on my car right now is like that
except that the belt goes straight from the alternator
to the motor then up (top side ) of the water pump
pulley and then, down under the PS pulley.

So everything moves in the right direction but
the water pump, as you can see, it is rotating in
the opposite way.

It's this the right way, or someone screw-up ?

The label on the radiator match the one on the Haynes
book for my car.

either your belt is the wrong size or it has slip off somehow due to a bad tensioner. Is this the right diagram for your car?

Yes, that's the one, what I got is what you see below
everything the same, but that pulley in the middle ( water pump )
noticed the belts goes "ON THE TOP" not the bottom
