Why can't I get this last sway bar drop link back in?

I did 3 with no issues whatsoever, figured I would finish the job and sure enough got stuck on the last one.

All the other 3 just came out with a hammer tap, and then the new ones slid back on without too much hassle.

This one was really tough to get out, and needed to be ”unscrewed" out. When I finally got it out I thought I was good, but now the new one won't go in, the only way I can make any progress is to " screw" it in, but eventually it just spins and makes no further progress. I've tried the hammer with no luck. Any ideas? It does seem like there is some weird lip inside the hole it's supposed to go into.

Not sure why this one is giving me a headache, of course I thought this would be " quick" and need the car tomorrow for work. 🤦

Follow up question, if nobody here has a genius suggestion, is it safe to put the wheel back on and drive it slowly without that one rear drop link to a garage to have it looked at?
