    Looks like the line got bent a little. Try to get the line straighter before threading it down. I would loosen BOTH and slowly thread them both down at the same time.

    Unless in looking at it wrong. Is this the other end of that I-shape line?

    No way I'd be loosening the rails to fix this. The line is so close to falling into place. Take the adjustable wrench and tighten it onto the line by the fitting and gently tweak it into place.

    Are you using the crow foot wrench? If so that’s why. Gonna need to use a a regular wrench or adjustable wrench. Remove that sensor to give yourself more room.

    So I initially I was using an adjustable wrench I was told not to use that to loosen the flare nuts. And I cannot remove that senor per the manual.

    Hmm. I can’t tel but if you unplug it then it MAY give you a little more room.
    Use a crow foot wrench like this and you can use an extension and a ratchet which will give you more leverege

    I think it can be forced in to place too, given how close it is.
    Earlier I suggested getting a friend to manhandle this pipe (barehanded is better as not to crack or move too far) while OP hand tightens the nut. No reply, but I am guessing doesn't have, or won't ask someone to come help.

    No I've asked for help someone even gave me some guys Jason's # but all did was tell me what to do. That's my problem I don't think anyone is listening to me haha. I can't force it myself it's extremely hard to move. Like everyone keeps suggesting things which I appreciate. I myself just can't seem to do it. I have asked though no one seems to want to come help. :(
