There should be some means of tilting the axle of the idle wheel.
Look for an adjusting screw or bolt, possibly with a lock nut or
similar, on the piece that  moves when you tighten the blade.

Tilting the wheel one way will make it track to one side, tilting the
other will make it track to the other side.  I assume that the wheels
have a bit of a flange that keeps the blade from slipping off toward
the back.  If you can safely adjust tilt while running (otherwise,
while turning by hand),  you should be able to crank the adjuster
until the blade just begins to kiss the flange.  Lock it there.  You
don't want the blade grinding hard against the flange all the time.

Free advice from limited experience, may be worth exactly waht you
paid for it. :-)
