There's a bolt inside the center of the back that threads into the
latch. 
Try tightening it with a screw driver.

Try a roll of 120 in your 220 back. I've done that several times with no
overlaping frames. Here are the specs on frame spacing:
Start to Frame 1: 38mm
Frame 1-2: 13mm
Frame 2-3: 12mm
Frame 3-4: 11mm
Frame 4-5: 10mm
Frame 5-6:  9mm
Frame 6-7:  8mm
Frame 7-8:  7mm
Frame 8-9:  5mm
Frame 9-10: 3mm
Frame 10-end: 35mm
