Issue with chain tensioner!

[Kajamaz]

Hey,

So I setup my motor recently and I finally managed to setup my chain tensioner without having the chain fall off and get locked in between the sprocket and wheel spokes. My issue is that the frame that the tensioner is attached on is at an angle, and the tensioner is on an angle, and the chain rubs against one side very hard. I need assistance, how do I make the tensioner go straight or at least not so harsh an angle on the chain!
I'm afraid to ride my bike at high speeds because I see the chain rubbing and flopping and can feel it in my gibblets that the chain will cause a hole or snap part of the tensioner plastic and go flying stright into the sprocket and spoke area and i'll go 20 miles an hour to 0 in less than a half second and break an arm or leg or chain.
Thanks.

If the tensioner isn't rolling on the chainstay then figure out how much it needs to be bent to make it straight on the chain, then bend it.

Nah, it'll take more than half a second to stop from 20mph when you lock up the rear wheel.

Even with falling, it just seems like less than half a second, usually you get a good 2-3 second beating and then you stop.
