You probably need to retension your belts (or replace them if they're in poor condition).

how do you retension them the belt doesnt look worn out this started right after i replaced the alternator do you think it has anything to do with that?

Probably, since the tension is controlled by the position of the alternator. There should be a tension adjuster on the alternator bracket. If not, you can use a lever against the alternator housing (carefully) to tension the belt while you tighten the bolt on the bracket.
