cts proper install question

hey guys, ive noticed that my cts on my 305tbi isnt completely screwed in.. and when i attempt to it feels as if its gone far enough without snapping. my question is, does the sensor have to touch the body of the manifold with the base of the sensor, or seeing a few threads be ok?? i ask cuz ive never noticed before, and my mechanics' believe that my car is acting up because of the CTS. ive changed that part about 4 times in 8 months...

so does it have to be completely screwed in??? or a couple threads out ok??

It only has to seal, but two threads are not enough even for that.
