First, yes, your cells are swollen. Get some clamps on them, or something. Do this before you charge them any further. By allowing the cells to expand you may be putting stress on the cell terminals.
Second, your bus bars are incorrectly installed (slightly). They should not be installed from the bottom of one post to the top of the next. A bus bar should either be on the bottom of both posts or the top of both posts. The way you have them installed, the bus bars may not be making good contact with the cell terminals and other bus bars.
