Take a magic marker and mark around the male fitting.........

Then screw the fittings together but just to the point that they are about to be tight...... then rotate the male fitting or the female fitting......

This should leave a line or scratch around the Male fitting and you'll see what needs to be done....

They have soft seals that you can stick over the male fitting and reseal the hose fitting so it doesn't leak.....

Pegasus or Aircraft spruce or someone has them....

Just get the fittings screwed together close enough to leave a mark around the male fitting and you'll see
