Ah I see, the L and R on the washers are for the rear facing dropouts.
Twas SBC that installed the current ones only a few weeks back with the Nexus 5.

I do not recommend these track ends. Every couple of months I need to re align my rear wheel because the axle has moved in these ends.
Best method so far is to hand tighten the tensioners until the axle and wheel are in position, tighten the axle and then further tighten the adjusted by using a flat head screwdriver and a small hammer. Only this way it takes about 6 months before I have to realign the rear wheel.

Right, have done that now, tightened everything up. Pic attached. Only problem now is I can't thread the gear cable housing any further forward to straighten out the kink in it, because the motor has trapped it. See the second pic. I've tried a few times to line up the yellow lines on the hub in 3rd gear but every time I ride and change gear they shift again (have adjusted in both directions)
At least the chain is taut now. No breaking necessary. Wheel just needed to be pushed back properly in the dropouts. No idea why the assistant handed it to me like that.
It's a KMC chain @BrickMan
