Header Stud Installation

Hi There,

I'm installing SS studs in my Ford 250 straight 6, and one of the studs just keeps going into the head, and you can actually see it coming through the manifold. It's not stripped, there just isn't anything to stop it from going all the way in. Any suggestions? I feel like I need to have it at least snug up so I can tighten the nut up on it.

Thanks!
