If the wrong plug was put in, the threads may be extended into the chamber too far and clogged with carbon.
Try tightening sightly, then back it out. It will only move a little, but working it back and forth each time breaks the carbon off. It should eventually come out.
Forcing it too much will ruin the threads.
