Keep in mind that NPT/BPT threads are tapered so its not supposed to thread all the way in like a regular bolt. As long as you used some Teflon tape (or other pipe sealant) and got a 4-5 threads in it'll be perfect and sounds about right.
Cool, thanks for all the help guys, got the gauge mounted and wired up and looks great! I'll snap a picture here quick and post it.

Get that thing on the pillar with the boost gauge!

Or at least switch it with the boost gauge. Oil pressure shouldn't look like the most important gauge in your car.

I put it there because the oil pressure gauge behind it didn't work. I am used to looking on the pillar for the boost gauge from my old car so that is why they are the way they are. I kinda like the single gauge on the a-pillar. Doesn't look so cluttered.
