Honda probablydesigned these provisions (theslot in the tensioner, as well as the threaded hole in the blockunderneath)into the car because it can be quite difficult to re-assemble the springs, beltsand tensioners without temporarilyinstallingthe bolt to hold the timing tensioner securely in position as the other tensioner and spring is installed.

If your tech did not do it, now you need to take the car to someone who knows 4-cyl Accords and get them to adjust the tension of the timing belt. Then you're good to go for a long time.
Here's how it's done (with the engine NOT running):
