Head moves in X and Y instead of just X

Greetings. As the headline already says. The Toolhead moves not just in X but also is pulled in Y when I tell it only to move along X. I am trying to figure out why but so far I could not. I attached a short clip, as I do not know how describe it better.

I think I found the issue. Looks like the belts were not tension-ed correctly. Issue now, I do not get the correct tension on them. I thought I did but when I did the heightmap, the toolhead got ever so slightly pulled to the right/X+. And when i tapped the side, where I had the biggest deviation, the stepper motors seized up when doing the Z-tilt again. Right now I have no clue what I am doing wrong.

Will do Now fixed. The left rear motor was the issue. One of the pulley screws was loose and after tightening it it worked. Did not expect that to be the reason for it >.<
