Help: OLP truss wheel issue. Need some help please.

I know this is not a real EBMM but the issue can still apply. Ok, so this is weird. I removed the neck from my OLP to lube the truss wheel as it was hard to turn. Mind you it was butted up against the heel. I removed it, lubed it with vaseline and then tried to screw it back on. But now it does not screw in all the way. It sticks out significantly.

Any idea what could be going on here?
