Default another vibration problem

I recently replaced my drive belt on my 03 ultra stock 88ci with 59000 miles.
I now have a vibration that i didn't have before around 2800 rpm no matter if I'm moving or not . My question is will the compensator vibrate if i didn't time it back together as it came off. I don't know of any other thing it could be, nothing is loose that i can tell.
Thanks in advance all help is appreciated.

I think you have to check your work...open the primary and go over it.

DO NOT use air impact tools on the compensator or clutch hub nut.

If you did, you may have knocked a magnet off the rotor
