Sounds like you stripped the thread.
Is it on the sump or the turbo? Not sure which bit your talking about. |

You would have stripped the beginning of the bolt thread. Without the drain fitting the bolt goes deep enough to engage the thread but doesnt with it fitted.

A slightly longer bolt might work. Otherwise you will need to put a helicoil in it or drill and tap a larger bolt hole and use a larger bolt.
