No problem, as Greg stated, it looks like two issues, but what I don’t understand is how this planed in the first place, with the frog moved back so far it puts the blade assembly at a wonky angle, you need to move it up closer to the throat opening of the planes sole as in the photo I attached. To start with set the frog like the photo I attached, the put the blade assembly (blade and chip breaker) in and put the cap iron on. When it’s assembled and the blade just emerging from the throat, set the frog so there is 1/16 of a inch from the blade to the front of the sole. Take some shavings, if the plane is still not shavings then other issues are at play.
Oh darn it, the photo is going to be confusing, the blade and throat opening are at the left, disregard the right side as this is my veritas 4 which has a different frog type thing.
