Welcome to 2CarPros.
If you are unable to properly tighten the battery terminals, that is an issue. However, is should be causing radio issues. However, one never knows. If the terminals are corroded and loose, that is where you should start. Take a look through this link:

If the terminals are worn and can't be tightened, they should be replaced.
Let me know if that link helps or if you have other questions.
