A/C belt squealing

Obviously this is due to lack of tension on the belt. Is this the same belt that goes through the alternator?

I'm trying to find out what bolt I need to tighten up to get rid of the squeal. Is it the wing nut on the alternator?

Same belt. No wingnut on the alt. From top to bottom- P steering, alt, A/C compressor.

To adjust: Loosen B, C, and D. Twist the wingnut (E) to adjust. Easiest way I've found to reach is to take off front driver's side wheel.
