What I found is the ferrule not even fully on the hard line.   So reamed out so slide on the hard line, though had to do a lot of massaging to get the fitting pushed back so could push the ferrule on like the picture.. Felt firmer when threading in the fitting, but not like it was cross threading, so decided to hold off on solder just to see if that was it for future knowledge.
Again, thank you!
