I'm not sure how you are getting fastener loads from what you have posted. Starting from the 2nd picture in post 18, you have an applied load from the horizontal stabilizer, and nothing else. What about loads from the structure ahead of the tailboom that you've left out? What about the wing? You need to determine where those loads are being reacted out (create a balanced free-body diagram) and then determine the forces and moments in each member, then take a section cut at each joint and figure out the loads being transferred across the joint. Then you can analyze the individual fasteners.
