The outer ring contacts the gauge, but when the gauge isin place it will not screw down, it slips. When the gauge is out the outer ring screws down nice and tight.

So what slips? Are the threads towards the outer side stripped? The bezel just squeezes the gaskets that are around the gauge.

Threads are not stripped, without the gauge in place the outer ring screws in tight.
