yet, when i was taking off the lockring....it wasnt even tight. so ill put it back on tight, yet i dont have a chain whip or the lockring tool, so ill try my best.
You don't need the chainwhip for installation, only for removal. The fact that you were able to remove the lockring without a removal tool or a chainwhip indicates that it was way loose as you discovered.
You will need a lockring tool to tighten it up.
