My mechanic is the one who replaces tires and adjusts the chain, etc. but I noticed that one of the chain adjustment screws was loose so I tightened it up. I was reading the owner's manual regarding chain adjustment, and I couldn't even budge the axle nut. Anyone else have this problem? Or am I missing something?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Its not the chain adjustment plates that hold your axle but the axle-nut. If properly done, its torqued to 100nm/72lbs. With proper leverage (a normal X tire iron) you can easily loosen the axle nut. About the loose axle plate, it can happen and not harmful as long as the chain is properly aligned.
