Part alignment using width mate

Hi,
I'm using the new width mate to centralise a pully in a holder as below:
After having setup the width mate what is the correct way to then align the pulley holes?
Or should I just use a fasten mate with an offset?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

A cylindrical mate should do it (or a slider if you don't want it to spin).

Thanks Eric, the cylindrical mate works well.
In case you wanted to go for efficiency…A single revolute mate would apply well in this situation. no need for both a width and cylindrical mates.
