The only washer I know of is between the tensioner arm and the engine front cover. It's 2-3mm thick so not having it should be obvious when you check that all pulleys are in the same plane.

The washer looks like part of the tensioner arm. Very easy to forget to move it to the new tensioner arm.

I find Goodyear Gatorback belts are more resistant than others to pulley misalignment and getting thrown off. That's no excuse to ignore the underlying problem, though.
