This is what a furniture bolt and cam nut look like https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?img...WAhUIZlAKHeCBDzU4ZBAzCE0oPDA8&iact=mrc&uact=8
You will have to take the bed apart and take a photo of how the nuts and bolt are placed.
Basically if you saw 20mm off the side rails then the bit where the nut goes will have to be 20mm further down the rail to be able to fit together again.

i solved this very problem about a year ago
the only way it would work was to add 6x1 to replace the headboard end add a baton to the wall for the head off the bed to rest and hook onto and affix the headboard to the wall
its impossible to manoover the bed through 90 degrees without standing on its end then the legs stop you dropping the bed down unless removed as the diagonal is far greater than the length

If you want to bash on.....
Strip the bed linen and mattress and give us some pictures of the bed foot unbolted from the frame - we'll be able to take you through the modifications, and you'll need a fine toothed saw, try square, pencil and a drill set, together with the right sized allen key and a screwdriver.
You'll lose one or two slats that support the mattress too.
No business of ours, but is it really worth the bother?

Would it be so bad of the bed rested on the skirting board and not the floor js

OK - lets start by reducing the bed frame to suit the mattress that you have, and you'll get the assistance you need on here.
With thought and care it should be possible, just takes some time and careful measuring.

it cannot rest on the skirting as you need perhaps 20mm extra to allow the base to drop in as i explained earlier you cannot get the bed in without an extra few mm for the diagonal
