The auto tensioner for the serpentine belt on a 2011 Mazda is typically located near the front of the engine, usually on the passenger side. It is a small, spring-loaded pulley that applies tension to the serpentine belt. To remove the belt, you'll need to use a wrench or ratchet to rotate the tensioner away from the belt, allowing you to slip the belt off the pulleys. Always refer to the specific vehicle service manual for detailed instructions and diagrams.
even with the tensioner loosened all the way i still cannot get the belt on. Any suggestions on how to get the belt on?

Should be the tensioner that the Alternator belt goes to
One of the components driven by the belt or the tensioner has bearings that are going bad or the unit itself like alternator, power steering pump, or water pump are going bad. If it has a manual tensioner it is possible that it was overtightened as well.
Most likely there is a spring loaded device called a belt tensioner. There is a pulley on it with a bolt or square inset in it. sometime a socket or 3/8" drive extention can be used to move the pulley and release the tension on the belt.
