What is wrong with your car when the connectors to the battery are constantly having to be tightened and if they are why is the car still not starting?

Your battery cables probably became loose shortly after each tightening, which made it difficult for the battery to recharge. Your car will run without the battery once you start it, but the lights and radio, and other electricly dependent utilities take all the power it has. Withoutout the charging system recharging the battery it has been left with little or no charge.
the battery cable connectors have probably streched and don't fit properly so there isn't a permanent connection to allow the alternator to charge the battery properly during it use and your car not starting could be down to the fact of your battery being nackered due to the lack of charge from the alternator.

What do battery connectors do?
Battery connectors are what connect batteries to devices so the device can get power from the battery. Electricity is the flow of electrons, and a battery has to have a way for the electrons to leave (negative wire) and return (positive wire). Thus the terminals on the battery are what do this, and battery connectors in a device or vehicle are what carries the electricity to the device or vehicle so it can be used. For instance, they electrically connect the battery to a laptop to power the computer.
