Not sure what you are saying here......is the adjuster still loose when the axle is tightened or is it loose in the swingarm?

Welded nut is on brake side the plate is not tight against the rear of swing arm like it was before I removed the tire I rode and all feels well if that means anything and the belt is tracking very true as well

My right side adjuster is looser than the left also. I adjust the wheel so that the adjuster plates are tight against the swingarm and tighten the axle down and ride. Never a tracking issue with mine either.
