midi hose connector won't screw on

[ntinling]

The little connector that goes between the hose on my midi and the tool (the one with the rubber end that slips on the tool port) has come loose and I can't get it back on. It has a screw thread and the hose has a thread shape but it will not engage. Any tips?

Thank you.  I missed it first time around. I'm glad I'm not the only baffled by this.
