Rear wheel spacing troubles!

been trying out the rear caliper on the back and came across another issue!

So, this is how the caliper would sit, which is perfect, with the slot cut there where I can just weld a tab on the frame for it to slide..



but now I've come across this problem...
first, I can't use the wheel adjusters on the inside, as on the right side, as there's no space for it once the caliper is there (pic after this one):



secondly, if I push the wheel as far forward as it can go, so I assume all is straight, the frame plate doesn't seem to sit parallel to the caliper bit? meaning if I get a spacer in there it won't sit flush with the plate?



or is it a case of making a spacer that a bit of clearance and once all tighten it will be fine?

and, as I can't use the wheel adjusters on the inside, I'll have to cut the little tubing off the inside and weld a new one on the outside, but can't find anything like this adjuster?
Took the pic at the hayride, I also guess these adjusters would slot into the plate?
