Posted this on your other post too. Are you sure the bushings are not in backwards? I can see the spacer pointing towards the swingarm, not away like they are installed. Just doesn't look right at all.

Something assembled wrong or aftermarket bushings in that swingarm.Bolt head and nut should sit flush.

Need more info
Was it ever together?

As far as rear axle, it will pull in a bit when tightening nut, but shouldn't be any issues getting nut engaged unless swingarm is bent outwards
You sure you have correct spacers there

Default Swingarm issue please help

I have stripped it down to reconstruct and found my swingarm was broken. so I looked ebay and could observe ones for a 125 in great condition and I got one under the supposition it would fit and it doesnt. my unique shaft doesn't fit through the 125 headings so I took them out and the genuine openings in the swingarm are marginally more modest. so I was contemplating purchasing a 125 axle however them it wouldnt be cozy were it goes through the motor. could this be alright? or then again do I have spend a mint on one for a 250? im a piece befuddled as im OK with instruments yet this is my first bicycle, assuming anybody could help that sounds incredible. Much appreciated
