I did not have new washers or the fitting itself. I know I have the parts in the proper order. Any help would be appreciated
You can anneal the copper washer/s and re-use.
Heat the washer/s to red hot and immediately quench in cold water.
It may or may not do the trick but it has for me at various times.
