probably not what you are looking for answer wise but i have found that beads are off on your poi/poa on alot of guns for various reason and one being not lined up properly. you might consider getting an optic of some sort

Put a lead shotgun pellet in the threaded hole. Then tighten the bead down on top of it until it is tight, and straight. The lead will squish, but still be a solid enough base to keep the sight tight.

A very small pieces of plumbers thread seal tape. Depending on the amount of tape as to where the bead is tight and weather it is aligned properly. Mess with the amount of tape to get the proper alignment. I had the same problem with a mossberg waterfowl barrel problems been solved for two years now and still holding up.

Shorten the threaded portion with a file. Take a little off at a time until it sits straight when screwed all the way in. Don't forget the anti-seize.

Anti-seize, or do you mean lock-tite?

I meant anti-seize to make sure you can get it back out later.
