I have a large frame and take the bus every day. I’ve noticed the slot in the middle is slightly smaller than the one closest to the bus. I can’t speak for the one in front. But, the farthest back one is largest.
Point is - when I’ve had to use the middle slot, the same happens to me. The front tire doesn’t fit completely in. Made me nervous too. But once you put the hook on (all the way back to the forks) and give it a shake back and forth, you’ll find it’s pretty secure. Or maybe not, YMMV, but that hook applies more force than you’d think and presses the bike down and back onto the rear wheel, which is inside a nice big slot. As long as the rear wheel is in there good, you should be fine. Unlikely to pop out, short of the driver pulling a Dukes of Hazard style jump.
Edit: I prohhhbably would not chain the bike to rack to SECURE it to the rack. It would have to be tight to work, like a tension strap or something. Bungees will do almost nothing unless they're super tight!! For SECURITY, however, I do use 8" of thin braided wire (looped at the ends), locked with a small padlock to lock the front tire to the fork (or use something like this). I also hear the legends about theft-from-rack. The wheel lock isn't to keep the bike on the rack, it's to give me enough time to disembark said bus and kick the bike-coveter in the head.
