So I'm fixing an awning to the side of the wall, it required 14mm size holes - however due to difficulity getting leverage drilling up high, my arm wobbled a bit - end result is when I go to put the bolts in the holes, they aren't tight enough to need a hammer - I can push 4/6 of them straight in with a little shove. See pictures for tightness.
I've never used these anchor bolts before, will the tightness be ok once I tighten - or should I look at some alternative - e.g.
I don't want to re-drill holes (as all lined up perfectly etc). Thoughts appreciated.

- Put some chemical resin in the hole too just before fixing?
- Shove some matchsticks/wooden skewers alongside to make tighter? Does this work with bolts like this
