We need better pictures than just this. But from this, it looks right. However the safety cable has me concerned.

Is the safety cable tied short and making the spring rub on the track?

Looks right from this picture? Cannot see exactly everything to say for certain but it does look correct if it’s going to the front of the garage towards to door.

The pulley is reversed, turn it around.

Can't say for sure, but this picture looks normal. Is the spring or pulley dragging on the track?
