X 2 I,d put a little pipe dope on the threads before retightening,if it works? recheck for leaks a couple days later.

Any sealant (which technically shouldn't be needed but occasional is) should go between the internal tapered flare on the copper tubing and the external taper or "nose" on the brass fitting. I would avoid getting sealant on the threads as that could impede properly tightening of the flare nut. The threads don't seal on flare fittings, only where the tubing and fitting meet.
