Help me with my fuel pressure regulator

I have just made the switch from TBI to Carb along with new heads and cam and i hooked up a adjustable fuel pressure regulator and it is leaking from the top near the adjust screw. It is a malory 3 point but i think its an older model. im afraid that fuel is gonna get near the hedder and cause a fire, but i am wondering if the reason it is leaking is because it is not sitting straight. See what i mean in the picture.

If fuel is leaking around the threads, try a little teflon tape. Or, if you bought it recently, take it back and exchange it. A fuel leak is trouble just waiting to happen.
