Thanks for the offer it's kind, they are both fully dissassembled, and mixing and matching parts got both my gas locks real tight.
They we're finger tight at 3oclock, like trying my best with fingers at 3, so to go down 6 oclock i had to wrench it a bit hard to go down

The gas cylinder may not like being torqued very much. Test the piston movement, it should slide fore-aft with little to no friction (with a clean and de-greased gas system). A tilt test with-out the op-rod and bolt installed will tell you pretty quickly if there's a "hitch in your giddy-up".
