    Use some teflon tape on the threaded connection then loosen it enough to where its in the correct position. See if that helps.

    thats what the guy at home depot told me to do. they didnt have the proper thread. wouldnt the thing leak water if i just use the tape?

    would be best if i could find a proper attachment to fix this

    It wont leak if you put the tape on,then snug it to where it sits properly. Be sure not to over tighten and crack the threads.

    (Or you can hold your gat sideways! )

    Teflon tape should prevent any leaks, and its cheap too. Getting a different adapter would be best, it depends on how much trouble you're willing to go though.

    I always wrap threaded hose connections with teflon tape if there are not going to be undone after every use.

    Not sure where that adapter came from (maybe they changed them), but the one AG sells/sold? Is female with brass threads.

    Since its female, - and the you need a male/male pipe (brass), you now have 2 sets of threads you can tighten to clock the bottle right.

    So, if Teflon tape doesn't help - get a female Karcher adapter.
