The altima uses a timing chain, not a belt.
it looks as if there are small cracks on the pulley side of the belt. If these are within 1/8" of one another you need a new belt NOW
take the valve covr gasket then check the belt if there's any crack on the the belt or wear out .. then it's time to change it
If everything was fine before the new belt was fitted then the most obvious answer is that the timing belt has been fitted incorrectly and the timing is wrong.
the only timing marks are on the timing belt pulleys for installation of new timing belt other than that timing is not adjustable.
