+1 Often these pinch bolts get stuck within their arm hole and a prying out is needed to free up the cable.
I can't see for sure from the poor photos but could the cable's QR be a bit off too? It looks to be the inexpensive stamped steel style that sandwiches the adjuster barrel and rides on a flange that the adjuster barrel holder has. Often these flange will spread the QR's sides apart and fall in between the QR's sides. I will pull the adjuster barrel and holder up out of the QR and squeeze the side plates of the QR together so they more fully support the flange and prevent pull through. Andy.
