Slide outs not pulling in fully at the front, motor bolt fix

My solution for my two slides that did not pull in completely at the front was to install these timing plates which allow me to time the front slide to start pulling in ahead of the rear, also got rid of the 5 small bolts that hold the motors on the frame. I took the motors out and removed the front section of the motor and drilled through the 5 screw locations, then ran a tap through each mounting hole, now I threaded stud bolts all the way into the motor housing and installed a nut and red lock tite to the nut and threads, installed the motor back into the frame and used a washer and nylon locking nuts on all 5 mounting studs, I can now tighten them down tight without stripping out the threads, and I don’t have to worry about the loosing up anymore. I ave tried to add pictures , but not sure if the will post or not.

I have a similar issue however the back of my front slide will not completely close it appears to be misaligned wit the front of the bed slide? Any thoughts on how to adjust this issue?
