Screw it back in but just won't go ....as I needed to use it it's now got tape around it ..not good

Look towards the hose end of the cuff. You will see 2 tabs on the side, depress these tabs to separate the parts. Slide the ring with the tabs on the hose, tabs facing away from the CT, screw on the retainer, slide the cuff over the retainer, lock tab ring onto cuff. Done.

The part that screws onto the hose (and the hose) have left-hand thread.

Here is an illustrated post for Tip-of-the-Trade-Festool-Hose-Repair.

Many tool hoses have this type of adapter lock.
