I understand that if the clamp was fitted correctly, then the bolt passes through the recess between the two sets of splines making it impossible for the clamp to pull off with the bolt in place, either loose or tight.

In my opinion, the clamp wasn't pushed on far enough, so the bolt could then be inserted in the right place?

Assembly error.
looks that way and I hold my hands up to not checking the tightness of this bolt correctly.
thankfully no one was hurt and do damage was caused.
