On your mixing valve, Your hot and cold water should hook to the valve at 9:00 and3:00 positions. You should have two ears at 12:00 and 6:00 positions which are used to screw the faceplate on. If you don't see these ears, the hole that the valve is in may not be big enough for you to see them. If it is tile, they may be covered with tile. If it is fiberglass, you would usually would have an oblong hole, longer at top and bottom, to see ears. If it is fiberglass, you may want to drill through where screws go, and through bolt your valve so it is tight. The hole in tile and/or concrete should be oblong so you can see screw holes.

This faucet was in a bathroom we use infrequently with a jacuzzi tub and we decided to use it again.
Single handle balances cold &
there could be dirt in the cartridge or the integral cold side shut off is not fully open. the integral shut off has a slot for a screw driver. the slot is to face the same direction as the pipe coming into it to be open and straight up and down to be off.
