That'll cause the splaying.
There's one way to tell if it's from over-tightening or if the ends are simply weaker than needed.
If someone can find a pic we can see if the spreading is at the same angle from horizontal for both top and bottom parts of the track end OR if only the top one is spreading and the bottom remains intact.
If it's the former, then it's from over-tightening. If it's the latter, then it's from not-strong-enough track end system.
