Usually this just means you need to clean the thread and the faces.
The faces are not matching up as designed, you may be surprised how little dirt can stop the joints matching.
I use Brasso wadding (I assume it is a brass joint), which you rub on and then wipe and polish with (say) paper kitchen towel, or at least cloth that is lint-less as you do not want any lint left in the female part of the joint

also be careful, do not try to over tighten joints, they are designed to be tight with not much pressure. I have seen people trying to tighten their cue as if it was a bolt on an oil-rig and lo-and-behold - the joint comes loose in the shaft!
