The belt went on my tumble tryer my husband took the back off first then relised, now the belt is on the drum wont spin because its pushed right against the bck, what has he done wrong and can we fix it?

It'll be the belt - just had exactly same problem. Unscrew top 2 screws at back of drier, pull top off (needs sliding backward to do).

You can then look inside and see if the belt is snapped.

It's a 10 min job, and providing you remember to unplug the unit first and can hold a screwdriver, it is a simple job!
