Carriage crazy loose

I just received my A10 and the setup was super slick. The only catch is that the carriage is extremely loose. I tried to adjust the eccentric nut, but that has not helped. Any other tips?

I disassembled the carriage, then re-assembled it. I think the eccentric nut was backwards. I have it all assembled and printing right now.

Hi, You can adjust the tightness of these three bearing wheels,
Make adjustments.

Thanks so far, but this can't solve it. The bearings are tight but the distance of the bottom wheel is maybe 10-15mm to low to push against the aluminum profile. The eccentric nut can't push that far.
How strong should the wheels have contact to the bar with a normal unit? It's there still some space or do they all contact fully with their V-shape?

Hi, The bearing wheel and belt should be in normal contact,
Can move smoothly.

Okay, I fixed it. The sheet metal part of the carriage was out of angle by some degrees where the bottom wheel is screwed on.
I bend it back into position and the rest was done by the eccentric nut.
Thanks
