the **** fits the stick fine its just like there are not enough threads to keep it tight in the "correct position" if i could spin it another 90 degrees it would be perfect but my ocd is kicking in even though its on there solid im thinking a washer under the **** could hold it tight hopefully someone understands what i mean and chimes in...

Try wrapping the threads with teflon tape. It should make it tight enough it will stay where you need to place it. It worked for me.

ya mine is like that also, except I have more thread to tighten it, but if I do it will not face the correct way. so I just leave it a little loose, no biggie. I may have to put some loc tite or teflon tape now that I see the suggestions.
