As well as the additional holes, you should find that when you loosen
the bolts the whole cleat+plate assembly should be able to move around
(up to a point), though you might have to force it a bit just to free
it up. This gives you finer adjustment back-to-front as well as
allowing you to slightly rotate the cleats and move them side-to-side
a little. It can take quite a while to get them just right so that
they feel natural.
As others have said, though, try loosening the laces a little. The
shoes should be relatively tight, but not uncomfortably so.
Again, as others have said, it could be the shoes are just too small.
If your toes can touch the end of the shoe then it's not a good sign.
