Y axis motor mount "warping"?

After recently doing a rod and bearing upgrade I found black belt dust on the Y belt drive gear. Looking at the Y axis motor is has become slightly angled where the motor housing is toward the rear and the drive gear is toward the front so the axis of the motor spindle is not parallel to the rear threaded rods that run from side to side.
It would seem that it is from belt tension but the belt is not overly tight in my opinion!

I am using the modified three point motor mount.

Could the bed temp be enough to possible start this warping from the belt tension?
