Are you perhaps not orienting your turret the way you prefer as you assemble your gear on the cylinder, and only then find it hard to swivel/adjust?

The first part. Its the the swivel/adjust. When the shop added the LP hose, I cant turn the turret since the hose is hitting the knob. Im thinking the best option is to remove one of the hose, turn the turret, and attach the hose.

DIN or yoke? If yoke, just unscrew the knob, adjust, and re-insert.
 
It looks like this. The knob comes off on this?

That is DIN. So yeah, easier to remove and replace the hose(s) than the DIN handwheel. Or, are you able to pull back the hose protector, turn the turret, and then snug up the protector again?

even without protectors they don't usually swivel so it is better to pop one of them off and turn it around
