I have an embarrassing issue that i need help with. I think it stems from the dumb mistake i probably made when assembling the bike in a hurry, i think i switched the rear through-axle position so that the screw is on the derailleur side or maybe it should be the other way around, if you look at the pics look at the Nm number and arrow pointing for tightening.
I have tried to release the screw counter the arrow painted on the screw - but clock-wise should be for tightening like every other screw i suppose, so that releasing the screw is counter clockwise, but the painted marks showing the direction confused me so i messed up the screw head and my derrailer is out of place too and the screw is stuck and with pretty worn head.
Now i have found some tips online how to circumvent this worn/mangled screw head, but in what direction is the release now in the end, how to solve this rookie mess up i made:
