I am installing a showerhead, and turning the neck until it is fully
tightened, it would be spraying at the wall. So I turned it back
counter-clockwise a bit, after having applied pipe dope. Unfortunately
the joint leaks though, because it is not fully tightened. What can I
do to seal the joint?
Thanks!

What do you mean by "fully tightened". If just hand tight, grab it with
a wrench or pliers and tighten more until its pointing in the correct
direction.
