Troubles keeping rear wheel in place
I put on a mid drive motor and it keeps pulling the rear wheel foward and jamming it into the frame. I tighten the nuts as much as i could but it didnt work. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions?

That's more commonly a problem for q/r axles than for nutted axles.
You can get track nuts with a more agressive knurling, but that's about it.
Some dropouts can take tug nuts/chain tensioners, but not all.
What's the power of that motor?

want a Bike with an electric Motor ?, that frame wont do.
I expect you need a Vertical rear dropout frame and even that the motor can 'walk' the wheel out of the dropout, under Power.
maybe a welding shop can fabricate something that will lock the rear axle In..

I'm assuming some kind of horizontal dropouts.
Are they forward facing or rearward facing?
There are quite a few tensioners/adjusters for rearward facing horizontal dropouts.
Not that many for forward facing dropouts, but you could probably devise one. Weld an eyelet at the back of the dropout then use something like this.
DMR 10mm Chain Tugs, Pair
To install or remove the wheel, you'd have to always unbolt the tensioner from your eyelet.

Surly makes tugs for both rear and front facing dropouts. Even comes with a bottle opener if for some reason you decide you need bottle openers attached to your bike.
