If I may be so bold to suggest putting double nuts on bottom bolts we were using 3.3 shutters much like the ones you are using and were finding the nuts would jump the threads and that wasn't filling them all that fast but I do like to vibrate it quite well.

You either need new tie bars or to chill out with the vibrating. You can over vibrate concrete

We do it by bucket too and the rule is; the person who is directing the tipping has to clear up any mess - this usually leads to some precision banks-man work

are the angle braces just for support when assembling the shutters or do they help the shutter bolts?
we have did some shuttering over the years and only used the bolts

You can push and pull with them so it makes sure the shutters are dead straight
