Ah, okay. I have an under tub leak that I am trying to figure out myself. Thank you!

Is it cross threaded?

Replace it. It’s plastic and they’re cheap. Consider using a heavy duty brass drain.

Probably because its way to hard to tighten

will the brass Tub shoe hook up to the rest of the residual PVC?

It was cross-threaded! I had to go across town for a thin-wall replacement shoe, (shoe only) and its dry but like Twowaxhack said I am ordering brass, because I'm not taking a chance with the sheetrock again.
