Showerhead Gooseneck

Vrooman

I am finishing off the basement bathroom in my own house, the only thing i have left to do is install the gooseneck and showerhead.

The trouble I am having is when I tighten on the gooseneck it isnt pointing down when I tighten it, it about 1/4 turn past where it should be, if i loosen it off and make it point down, it is way too loose

I had a plumber rough in the shower for me, and I was planning on installing the shower head thinking it would be easy hahah. If anyone could give me some advice, that would be great.

add some more teflon tape to the male threads. it might point down then.
maybe a couple of wraps?
