My tip for these PITA inventions is compress them up then undo them and
coat the olive in a healthy dose of Fernox-LSX silicone or similar.

Spent many hours Saturday faffing around behind the newly fixed basin &
pedestal with a tissue trying to find several weepers.

I'd say either the pipe or fittings were damaged in some way - assuming
you could get enough purchase to tighten them fully.

But I always put a few turns of PTFE round the olive before tightening
after cleaning the pipes to soldering standards.
