Axle's axial sliding constraint failure

So today while doing shakedown of our student built electric gokart. I noticed midway throught that some ding ding sound is coming and i came back to workshop. When me and my teammate checked it, the set screw of the left pillow block was missing and right pillow block set screw was loose. The brake disc hub set screw was also missing. Our axle has a slight wobble from a previous crash but not much. Now we also have ordered a replacement axle before but it also came bent like a bow (shit luck). So I have time till Technical Inspection which is on 30th August. The axle shifted 30 mm to the right almost scrubbing the wheel to the chassis.

What should I do now?
