on the threads you should be able to get five or six turns in before it bottoms against the rubber gasket. you can feel the gasket which will feel much different than a stoppage from being cross threaded.

I tested my car fully warm. Also, what rubber gasket are you talking about? My adapter is a piece of metal that screws into the fuel injector hole. There's nothing in those holes except for the heat shields which I removed for the test.
