starter motor nut

[J$£5GTT]

not the first time i done a starter and wont be the last....:D but for why i cant seem to do the nut up tight and pinch the spaded cables up,nut goes tight and it seems im doing it up,then you can still wiggle the cables about on the thread?

have i forgot or done something wrong?

Cross threaded

The bolt/nut are probably threaded mate, hopefully the nut is shot or the starter solenoid is pretty much scrap
