But you could just return them becuase you dont really need chain tensioners, they just add weight and save a little time when your readjusting your back wheel.
But its also another tool you have to carry in your backpack or whatever...

Yes but i want some tightness in my chain so theoretically i tighten the chain tensioners bolts. They only go so far and then they are screwing into the axel instead of pulling the wheel back

I tried slamming my rear wheel and putting in a half think, but my chain was still to short so I went back to the stock lenght. what a pain in the ass that is. I was able to get the chain together but it was so incredibly tight it wouldn't have been good to ride it like that.
