I am confused by the description of the problem in the OP; can you describe the problem again?

Well, this is my first/only ENO, but it is the Eccentric, so the bolts aren't going into the center of the axle. Even with the wheel off the frame, when I tighten the bolts, they seem to hit a limit, and when I measure the gap, it's 5mm or 7/32" and no, no QR.
