I just received my new Tek 3 regulator set and am flying to Tiger Beach Bahamas tomorrow. As I was setting it up I noticed that a could not screw the inflation hose all the way. I did not try to force it and tried couple more times no luck. I tried it on the other first first stage that came with the Tek 3 set and it seated no problem as you can see in the 17 second video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YL8CcqLLRdY
 
sorry it's late, but if that was the same inflator hose it means there is a burr in there from the plating process. You might be able to knock it out with a brass bore brush if you have one. Gun cleaning brushes would work well. If not, you might have to take a crescent wrench and just give it a little bit of a pull. If it's just a burr in one of the threads that will clean it up. Sorry you're dealing with that....

If you weren't on a tight schedule I'd say take it back to the LDS and get them to swap it out
