Did Ridler change ownership?; change foundries? ; just a bad batch of covers hit market? ( seems like a bad mold & machining of fill hole )

I just installed mine prior to my Col and Moab trip. My fill cover tightened then right as I tried to torque it, it started spinning loose going deeper in. So now I have a very sight leak, but this pisses me off!

Could you replace it with a socket head cap screw? It looks like you could at least torque it and it might not protrude too much.

Mine does not do such thing so maybe mines broke... But ill take the broken one if thats the case. Also use thread sealant and its fine. Teflon is a lubricant and not a good option.
