And, how do I check the chain slack/tension is correct?

You can't put the axle in without fitting 20-23 first, the axle goes through the hole in #20
(use your loaf, think logically about what part is doing what!)
That forward-backward sliding is how you adjust the chain, it will be somewhere in the middle. Obviously moving one side more than the other will put the wheel off to one side.
Ok last time; put it back together, hit the wheel forward with your knee to ensure the axle is as far fwd as the adjustment of bolt #23 will allow it. Tighten the axle nut.
Once you've tightened the nut it is clamped as a solid assembly, 65Nm on a bolt that pitch is a ****load of force clamping everything together.
I would really suggest you buy a haynes manual or get someone local to take you through the basics.
But the chain; should have about 30mm of up and down free play. If you move either of the adjusters then move the opposite one the exact same amount. But from what I've heard so far I'd say put it back together and take it to a mechanic to get the chain checked.
