Oh, and how hard are you supposed to press to play a chord?

shouldnt be hard finding one
when you press against the frets, press hard. also press the fret on the right side, so that your finger is just behind the metal bar.

you know your pressing hard enough if it makes the desired noise.

first get a tuner and check out some online videos which could help. There’s tons of free videos from people on this stuff.
Tight enough so that the ukulele can be used as a tennis racquet, apparently. ; )
Tight. Really really tight. You can buy a ukulele tightening machine with a tension gauge: ukuleletighteningmachine.com
