Well, first off, copper washers need to be replaced whenever they're disturbed. Second, pull the regulator back out another full turn and then tighten and see if it still leaks. It is possible you damaged it when you tried to install it before, but it'd be hard to do from what I recall of the assembly, I'll have to dig out my spare and check.
