if the snail cams dont hit the small bolt in the frame they wont tension...you might need to shorten your chain or put a washer behind the bolt so they hit the washer (the snail cams)

the part of the snail cam that sticks out when you get it into the snail cam bolt the biggest circle of the snail cam has to slot into the axle bolt hole so the axle bolt will tighten if you know what i mean but it wont fit right it will either be really tight or really slack

That is exactly what mine did mate, It's either super tight or to slack? On the snail cam there is a little bit what you push round with your hand, wedge that up against the axel so it is touching. And then tighten up the axel bolt as much as possible and that should hold hold for a while. Or you could put a washer behind the little bolt what your snail cam is suposed to run on which will make it bigger.
