Whats going on man.
You kinda left out a few important items like, What year do you drive? What engine? N/A? SuperCharged? Post some of that info and we can go from there.

Assuming you have a 5th or 6th gen, (non-supercharged)
There's an illustration under the hood about how the belt diagrams. Use that.
Rotate the tensioner counterclockwise to release the tension of the belt.
slowly undo the belt while releasing tension as needed.
Route the new belt the same way the old belt was routed (in the diagram) and keep rotating the tensioner as needed to allow the belt to be installed.
Then release the tensioner.

The above should be broad enough to help you.
You may need a 2nd person to help you really pull that belt over the last ridge lol
