When at rest, unstrapped on level ground, none of the rollers should be loose. Also, tie down straps should be snug, but not too tight. FWIW you only need one good system: transom or over the gunwale. But you really need to have a safety chain attached from the bow eye to the trailer in such a way as to prevent the boat from sliding forward from a sudden stop or collision.

Once you get used to it, you'll be able to drive it on to within a couple feet of the stanchion, tie off, climb out and crank her up the last few feet and drive up the ramp.
