Default Hose touching belt, need help

Hi. Yesterday I removed my airbox with intake tube and see this...


One of the hoses (I think it's from a/c) not just touching but laying on the belt..

I was trying to figure out proper place for this hose but couldn't find anything around.
May be somebody have a picture of that engine area so I can see where is the right place for this hose?

350ZTheStandard, Everything is stock!

cdoxp800, I know that, but figured may be something moved after little hit in the front suspension. Just want to know the reason why it's there, so I can avoid any other damages.

It was a total Joke, man. As for it really touching. That's odd. I know it's normally close.
Try putting a slight bend on the Aluminum top part of the hose.

Common sense would say try bending the bracket.

Common sense can say a lot of things but the bracket is not bended. There is plenty of ways to fix this but what I'm trying to find out is why did it happen and what else to expect.
I hit my suspension, bumper and light, airbox tab broke.
I removed airbox and found hole in the intake tube


And after I removed my intake completely I see this belt...
So my question pretty much is:
What else could be bad?

How much of a hit was it? I'd be looking at the engine mounts or the sub-frame to see if anything has shifted. Is there any difference in the steering or the position of the steering wheel when the car is going straight ahead?

im a collision tech and can guarantee if it was hit in the front or the corner of bumper pretty good then i bet the core support is pushed in a lil making the fan shroud push the hose into the pulleys. youd have to take your bumper off and look for cracks in the core support or bends where they shouldnt be. i bet your core support is pushed in...
