I have never worked with syslog-ng, but I see you have got an error message "cannot bind to socket".
Is something else using it?
Code:
lsof /var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.ctl

Please use a normal kill not kill -9 because the latter does not let the process clean up (free semaphores and shared memory, close tcp sockets etc.)
Is selinux enabled?
Code:
sestatus

Check (systemd-)errors with
Code:
journalctl

SYSLOG(8)							  System Logging							 SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
