Bed loose, followed official instructions, made the problem worse. What to do?

My bed was loose, the entire part with the bed leveling section and the bed itself wiggled slightly side to side.
So I tried the official instructions from Geeetech:

All this did was start to unscrew the screw and nut on either side of the middle piece, the pieces now just rotate freely so turning them does nothing. The screw is impossible to reach because the bed doesn't extend far enough to reach it, so it has made the problem much worse.
Why didn't they use a nut so I could reach it with a wrench without disassembling half the printer?
I have no idea how to remove the bed to fix it, as it came assembled, and I can't find any instructions for how to do it either.
What do I do now? I'm about to cry.
Here's a picture. I need to be able to reach the 2 screws on the bottom or at least hold them in place so they don't rotate.
