You need to pull the side cover to take the worm gear off to assemble it correctly. All your issues with the nut will be solved. Getting it loose now will do you no good if it’s in backwards.

Thereis no room to get a socket due to how far the nut is recessed, thanks though.

1/4 or 3/8 drive QUALITY deep 6 point 12mm socket (not an impact socket) will get it loose, use a battery impact gun and you won't need to use a screw driver hold the adjuster from turning.
worse comes to worst grind the end of a socket a bit so it can reach fully onto the flats of the nut.

Did the 3D printer thing work out? I've been thinking of buying one (The printer) but I don't have the schematics to download anywhere to print the cover anyway.
