The bracket from the exhaust I discovered was loose. So I tried to tighten it, but then realised the screw does not go all the way in, which means the bracket is always loose. By loose I mean almost 5-8 mm of play a few I wiggle the exhaust.

I am afraid of using force, so the question : can I use some q20 and just force tighten the bolt, or what?

From the second pic you will note the bolt screws in only about 10% of the way into the bike's bracket.
