wait, im confused. do you mean when the fuel inlet is screwed in, it doesnt catch the threads and turn in all the way? if thats so, i think you may have stripped the plastic carb body. and now you need to buy a new carb.

Sounds like you stripped the carb body. Remove the whole highspeed needle fitting from the carb and inspect the threads. If the thread are shot you can get a new carb body relatively cheap.
