Dude, that stud is FUBAR.. Why did you mangle it like that? Good luck getting the nut to install onto that stud without cross threading. I'd pull the whole thing out and replace that stud, then start over. You don't want to know the nightmares a cross threaded stud can cause when it gets 1/2 way installed then decides not to tighten any further.
