    Ball joint wont tighten in front lower control arm

    Hello, I have a 2013 A7. I purchased front lower control arms and ball joints from FPC Euro. However, I cannot get the ball joints to tighten in the arms. Every video I look at they just ratchet it up and in, and its done, snug. Then they torque without having to hold it tight with a torx or allen wrench.
    I'm a decent sized guy, 210lbs, 6'3", but I cannot get the ball joints so they will not move in the arm!! I have all the right tools, but still.
    Is this normal? Anyone else had this issue? Is it ok to press in partially then torque? Anyone have any ideas?
    Delphi TC 2684 ball joint and mfr.

    Ok after messing with these for awhile, it seems to be the nut wont go all the way on. Not stripped or crossed threaded, jus twill only go so far.?.
