This picture shows that the chains are too large for these tires. That's good, you can move the cross links to make them fit nicely.
Tractor tire chains are heavier and the tires have deeper tread to snag on.
The OP started another thread on the subject, here Loaded tires psi. He isn't understanding how the fasteners are supposed to work. Here's a picture of what he's got going on. He's got the "cam" type hook attached as if it's just like the hook on the non-cam side and then wired together. I definitely agree that the chains need to be cut down, but before he does that, he needs to be sure he knows how to properly install them, with no twisted tie wire involved.

Good catch! I didnt see that he didnt put it thru the opposite chain link and back on itself. As per my pic. Yeah, that would take up 3-4" right there.
Did he finally get pointed in the correct direction?

Hopefully. I directed him to a bunch of videos on Youtube. Plenty of tutorials on there, and it's something that is better explained visually, I think.

Yes. Visually is the key. Thats why i included s pic but a single pic doesnt truly explain it. And Words are hard to understand as well. A 5 second video and it will make perfect sense.

Yep, both appear to have been used with the wrong side out.
