Problems with quick release/bolt-on skewers

So I converted my old road bike to a singlspeed (or am attemping to, rather) and the quick release I had on the rear wheel couldn't handle the tension as my wheel kept coming loose and rubbing against the frame. With the advice of some people on Bike Forums I bought some bolt-on skewers but I am still getting the same problem as it seems the bolt on the drive side of the wheel isn't grabbing the frame tightly enough to hold the wheel in place. It seems like the frame in the area could be bent but I don't know if it is. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be happening and what solutions might be possible?

Thanks, appreciate it.
