Timing belt slipped off!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and unfortunately I have run into an issue on my Ford Ranger! It's a 1991 2.3l 4x2, and I recently did a head gasket and valve cover gasket replacement. It was all going well until the engine was all back together and I went to start up the truck. It turned over for about 5 seconds, and then the timing belt slipped off the camshaft! I was wondering, would I need to get the engine re-timed, or could I just slip the belt back on and tighten up the tensioner? I'd really like to just slip the belt back on, but I wouldn't want to do that if the timing was off. How should I proceed!

Thanks a lot!
