Nice visual explanation @fbrc8-erin
Just wondering. Isn't there a slight risk of loosing x/y square?
Shouldn't lose the XY squaring I don't think as long as you're not moving the printhead while the screw is loose; all the other pulleys are tight and stationary.
The belt should be snapping back to it's original position on the pulley, but it may be worth moving the printhead to the side after it's tight again and checking that the distance between front and rear sliding block and the respective pulleys is equidistant before beginning printing.

It is hanging a little loose, it's an easy fix.
If something snags your belt (like possibly the printhead shaft if you're reseating the printhead), it will pull the belt over by a tooth or two on the pulley, creating slackness in one half and tightness in the other (though the tightness isn't really visible.
Loosen one of the pulley set screws on the pulley that belt is attached to it, and it should spring back into place, then go ahead and tighten it back up. There's a short video here:
