Loose connection/leakage between Coupler and Beer Line

I bought an Edgestar KC2000 kegerator off FB marketplace. At first i was having issues with beer leaking through the top part of the beer line handle (picture 1) and then saw online that there should be a black coupling washer there. After this i bought the couplers and put them in and now the leakeage is coming from the base/insert screw-on location (picture 2)….
Ive tried experimenting with everything and have tried tightening with 100% force hand tightening. Is this user error, are there other pieces missing, or is this just fault equipment? Or do i need a tool to turn the screw on connection even tighter?

I recently bought an Edgestar KC2000 kegerator. I also bought the economy Guinness conversion kit from KegCo with a nitrogen tank. I will fill it with 75/25 beer gas from my local air supply shop once I have everything setup. Once I get everything setup I will be getting a Guinness 1/6 Keg and set it to 42degrees F, 38PSI.
Once I know this is working I am going to be going to transport my kegerator a three-hour drive along with a half-keg of Guinness. Once at the location we’ll wait 24 hours before tapping.

  1. Are there any major differences between 1/6 and 1/2 keg? I will essentially be testing it with a 1/6 keg so will the pour be completely different with a 1/2 keg?
  2. Any potential problems with the transport? Will letting it sit for 24 hours eliminate any potential issues?
  3. What are some common issues I can prepare for if the pours aren’t coming out well?
